This is a powerful episode between just Andy and Yenukwa. We want to drop in and call in more of these types of one-on-one episodes. In this session Preventative or Proactive, what is the better approach when it comes to men's mental health?

Lots of laughs, ah-ha moments, and banter between these two Kings made this conversation light, yet deep and purposeful.
