These men either encourage feelings of change and growth, or validate the path of growth one is already on! It’s not often you can feel true and genuine vibes through a screen or network, but you three never fail at it. Best podcast/show out there. Salute 💪🏾✊🏾❤️

Fred, your vulnerability had me tearing up. My son is 20, he deals with anxiety/depression and refuses to go to therapy bc it’s not “cool”. Nor is there a strong male force in his life to help him understand how it can help him. I’m gonna have him watch this interview to listen at how multimillionaire men can still have the same issue he has and get help. Thanks for sharing, Fred. You don’t know how much this helped me! ♥️🙌🏾

[@lugo_ayana]

And let him know therapy can be in the privacy of your home now with telehealth. I have used Talkspace.

[@ariesgirl.]

@@lugo_ayana Yes, I have all the basics covered and the initial issue is he doesn't want anything to do with therapy. I'm gonna keep praying, not give up and assist with as much guidance as I can.

[@7.52am]

As a young man, I just want to say I appreciate the knowledge and information y’all bring to the table each episode. In this episode I learned that there is still hope and you can recover. Personally want to thank y’all for being vulnerable in this episode because it gave me a “father figure” conversation and advice on infidelity. Now imagine not even knowing what the word meant until you watched this episode! EXCELLENT WORK GENTLEMEN.

[@chocolategirl443]

Thanks Charlemagne and Fred for being so vulnerable about your mental health struggles. Representation Matters! Maybe someone will use your stories to seek guidance. I chose not to say “help” because of the stigma around that term.

[@dreeeamyeyes2]

Absolutely agree!

[@lugo_ayana]

I agree, my perspective is that avoiding the word “help” doesn’t do us justice. We need help sometimes. We don’t have to do everything ourselves and help should be welcomed with no stigma or strings.

[@earnestbrowniii]

Pivot Podcast Team, thanks for this Pivot Podcast with Channing C., Ryan C., Fred T., and Lenard M. (C.T.G.). Appreciate this in depth interview with C.T.G. sharing his story of change, grace, humility, and constantly evolving. Seeing this side of C.T.G. is enlightening and displays a level of self reflection and intelligence that we do not get to see when he is in character as C.T.G. on the Breakfast Club. Thanks for being so transparent C.T.G. Have a newfound respect for you. And I laugh every time I watch the Birdman interview. It is classic.

[@mrjay3047]

I appreciate how people like Charlemagne and Brandon Marshall and Fred have made it much more acceptable for us to talk openly about mental health. For years black folks tried to pray it away.

[@beyondyourreflection2018]

I remember growing up and thought Leonard was a cornball. He was truly wreckless at the mouth. It wasn't until over quarantine that I started watching The Breakfast Club. Watching the person he's become and Fred being able to relate and release is TRULY so beautiful to see. Thank you RC, Channanigans and Freddy Flowers for providing us viewers with the definition of PIVOT 🙌🙌

I honestly believe that my biggest Pivot is about to take place due to this episode.

So grateful for what all four of you do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! GOD bless you all!

[@rearends79]

Thank you Fred and Charlemagne for sharing so openly about your mental health struggles and what helps to manage it. It is so vital for black men to seek help and healing for what they are experiencing. I love that these black men who have influence really demonstrate how they can be vulnerable. It is so vital for other men to see it is ok to get help and to be vulnerable. We have to create these safe spaces. I feel black people in general have had their experiences minimized and we as a culture have said to pray it away as the men discussed but something’s need a professional and even sometimes medication to manage what they are feeling. Representation matters and I am so grateful for their genuine conversation!! This is an amazing episode!

[@cspann7123]

So much was unpacked in this episode. The vulnerability of both Fred and Charlamagne brought me to tears. Cheating is a learned behavior, I was happy to hear Ryan say " if you have a young lady coming over, no one else is, and if you bring over someone else, that 1st young lady can't come back" When those parameters are put in place, kids learn early that cheating or being unfaithful is not tolerated.

[@MrNikko4ch]

You missed the whole point my guy. The point he was making was he is well known with also multiple books talking about himself, so how do you interview some one when all their info is already well known and very public and still make it interesting Had nothing to do with being smart

[@TheBlackSuperSaiyan2100]

This podcast made me realize that I might actually have anxiety and that it could also be what is hindering my asthma from being better (most people in my family got over it). All the times of staying up, overthinking about all the bad scenarios that could possibly happen in life and going down the worst possible rabbit holes of all time are actually because of anxiety... That's really revolutionary and full circle that his podcast made me realize that. I've had therapists that didn't get this right but I feel like a new part of me is opened up and I'm happy about that because it means I'll finally know how to deal with it to a degree of course. You can never truly get rid of something like that but as Fred said, by not putting myself in situations that will cause anxiety, I will be much better off in life and live a much healthier lifestyle. Thank you pivot cast. 🙏🏿
