Description

In Mind Over Masculinity, hosted by Yusuf, we unpack why “starting strong” so often turns into quiet burnout—and why that’s not a character flaw.

This episode is for men who are tired of streak pressure, shame-spirals, and restarting every Monday. Roger Webb shares a nervous-system-friendly way to build habits that actually last: randomness, identity-based design, and celebrating progress without guilt.

About the Guest:

Roger Webb has spent over three decades studying subconscious behavior change and has helped more than 50,000people move forward without hype or hustle. He’s the creator of the Random Habit app.

  3. Replace streaks with celebration so progress doesn’t become punishment.
  4. Build habits around your identity and context—not someone else’s blueprint.
  5. When you slip, ask: “What did this teach me?” before you judge yourself.
