Episode Details

In this episode of Mind Over Masculinity, Avik Chakraborty sits down with mentorship coach Tee Green to break down why men do not need “more toughness”. They need more support. Tee explains the real difference between role models and real mentors, how mentorship builds resilience through failure, and why vulnerability is a skill that strengthens identity, leadership, and mental health. You will also hear practical ways leaders, dads, coaches, and managers can build mentorship as a real system in families and workplaces, not a feel good side quest.

About the Guest  :

Tee Green is a mentorship coach, retired U.S. Special Operations major, Bronze Star recipient, global speaker, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He focuses on building mentorship systems that develop self mastery, emotional calibration, identity, and resilient leadership.

Key Takeaways:

• Mentorship is a mental health infrastructure for men. It reduces isolation by giving men someone who walks beside them, not just someone to admire from a distance.

• Most men try to “upgrade” life by adding strength. Tee’s take is stronger. The real upgrade is adding support.

• The first move is internal. Men must believe they have value. Without that belief they will avoid mentorship and avoid being mentored.

• Healthy mentorship includes sharing failures. Not the polished “I failed then I won” story. The real emotional depth builds trust and makes resilience transferable.

• In high pressure worlds failure is expected. The lesson for everyday life is building backups, learning fast, and staying mentally flexible when plans break.

• Vulnerability is not weakness. It is access. It shows where growth is needed and gives others permission to grow too.

• Masculinity is not a performance. It is an inheritance built through mentorship, guidance, and modeling self mastery.

• Parents and leaders should share age appropriate failures. It removes the “perfect” illusion and helps kids and teams build real resilience.

• Do not aim to be the strongest man in the room. Aim to be the man who strengthens the room.
