In this episode of the Manlihood ManCast, Josh Hatcher talks with Harvey Laguerre. Harvey is podcast, a baseball fan, but his primary role is that of a stay-at-home dad.
Josh and Harvey talk about a number of things, including the stigma of a man not pursuing a career in order to raise his family, Harvey’s perspective on the world as a black man, and a meaningful conversation that gets to the heart of what it means to be a man.
Harvey Laguerre is a 47 year old, stay-at-home dad of 4.
During the pandemic, Harvey started a marriage and relationship podcast with is wife called “Love is Black.” That podcast’s success emboldened Harvey to start a new podcast, specifically for men.
Men are the P.R.I.Z.E. podcast is the result of years of learning what it means to be a man in the world today.
Harvey says, “The definition of masculinity has changed drastically and not for the better. Attributes that were once manly, are now toxic. What has not changed is the lack of safe spaces for men to express their emotions. Being a vulnerable man is not celebrated like it should be. This podcast is that safe space for men to open up and reveal their inner monologue.”
The “Men Are The Prize” is a podcast for men to be open and vulnerable. Harvey uses PRIZE as an acronym, and that acronym directs his conversations with his guests.
Each letter represents a characteristic men need to succeed.

It was this which first sparked his hunger for wider knowledge and understanding, of

The Masculine Core
Every relationship has the potential for great personal turmoil. As men, we’ve got a responsibility to set the tone and temperature, but we often find ourselves reacting or overreacting.
GS Youngblood helps men in relationships to love and lead from their masculine core.
Relationship Coaching
GS Youngblood helps men to evaluate their relationships, and to find the calm and centered place to respond to the sometimes contentious or toxic criticism and frustrations that arise.
If you want to be more powerful in your relationship, less of a pleaser or Nice Guy… he gives practical tips for reclaiming and repairing that relationship.
It can get better
The first step in fixing a struggling relationship is in accepting the simple belief that it can get better.
Embodiment
GS Youngblood teaches some basic exercises that get you “out of your head” and into your body. It grounds your thinking to the moment you are in, rather than rustling through the hurts of the past or worrying and fretting about the future.

Being fit and healthy matters. Before that can happen in your body, though – it has to start in your mind. Nick talks about the techniques used in a high-pressure environment that can help you build resilience.
Building Resilience
In an age of uncertainty the demand for resilience is high, working with elite
teams Nick unpacks the steps to building resilient teams and robust leaders.
Performance Coach, Paramedic, and Ex-Paratrooper
A turbulent younger life leads to a confused adult searching for a place to fit in, wandering to far-flung corners of the earth. The taste for a life less ordinary and adventure found Nick volunteering to deploy as some of the first boots on the ground in Afghanistan in 2006 as an airborne warrior.
Back from the intensity of combat, a search for security and structure found Nick on the corporate ladder which didn’t last but illuminated the right path, as Nick searched for a way to add value and support people to be healthy.
Fitness, coaching and health became the obsession and sculpted the professional coach working with inspiring teams to build strong, robust and resilient leaders.
