Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken.

10:53But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and some compassion. If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to The Mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

11:40Greatest trade ever. Clap it up. So it's obvious that I'm the smart one if I'm able to make the people pay and I'm beating YouTubers. Good point. So let me ask you this. This is one thing that I always admired about you. I don't think you got enough credit for it. Because we always see LeBron always getting credit for working with his team or black young men. But when I look at you and you see Al Heyman and Leonard LV and your circle is all black as far as on that business side on the boxing Like the forefront people so you were early on that and was that important to you or you just kind of happened that way?

12:23Well, of course, I'm gonna always I'm gonna always love my people first always

12:35but in business you know I gotta think about my family first I gotta think about my grandson my daughter yeah my two daughters my two son I gotta think about them first so when it comes to business it's not no it's not no certain color I work with everybody it's just like that but as far as my team it just ended up you know my team we will i have a real diverse team you know we got people from all walks of life that's on my team that i that i'm with every day and i and i love my team but when it comes to business i do business with every with everyone honestly speaking quick no go ahead a quick question for you talked about using the haters fuel and it's something that I struggle with but I also use it as fuel at what point does using negative energy become detrimental to your life or do you think it's because we grow with childhood traumas that makes us activate a higher gear when we hear something negative towards us what they said you want to going back and forth and I and I really want to apologize because a lot of times I go back and you know I never I was always on on the internet I was always the reaction I wasn't the action because I never like I said before I love my people first yeah I'm never going you know but sometimes you can shoot at me you can shoot at me and I really won't say nothing but you know I got to shoot back you know I got to teach my my children and my family how to defend themselves You know not just in the ring So a lot of times when people are people don't really like when you are when you continue to be successful You know it's even like a woman a woman can be in your life and she's no longer in your life And she can think that you know the grass is green on the other side She think that you're not going to continue to be successful Shout out to my exes You could have been here with me and Floyd But shout out bae But you chose the wise And it's nothing that works both ways So I don't want to be in this room I don't want to be biased It works both ways You know a lot of times a man like me I've never been with a woman And when we went our separate ways I was like oh I don't want to see her be successful More power to you That's not going to change everything that I got That's not gonna change my drive and my desire to be great at whatever I'm you know to be great at whatever Investments I'm trying to do or whatever I'm trying to go for in life How do you deal with you know managing people because you obviously you know have Mayweather promotions and you know you set the precedent for Boxers, you know becoming their own boss and you have one of the greatest young talents on your stable Javante Davis, but I seen recently that he's actually looking to leave.

15:44So how does that relationship work? How does that work as far as grooming somebody, getting them to a point, and then having some differences?

15:55I've always been a gentleman. I've always been respectful. And there's nothing like taking a kid that comes from the same background as you and helping them and put them in a position to become a multi-millionaire. You know, you meet a kid, he come up to you for an autograph. You sign an autograph for him, then I tell him, in a few years when you get older, I'm going to work with you and I'm going to make you world champion someday. Years later, I started working with him, helped him, pushed him to be great. and if he feels like you know his wings, he's grew wings where he can fly and become his own boss more power to him from your standpoint because that's not going to I didn't get into the sport of boxing you know after I retired to not want to see fighters grow if I can if he feels like he can surpass Floyd Mayweather or be the next Floyd Mayweather, I'm here to push you.
