Ep 33 - What can we learn from the World Happiness Report 2026?

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

The World Happiness Report 2026 was recently published and I thought I'd do a bit of a dive into it to understand some of the key takeaways for us so you don't have to!

This year they've focussed on social media use and there's some really interesting things they've pulled out in their research which covered over 47 different countries.

As a parent, this is an episode I'd be keen to listen to.

Ep 31 - Cha and Chat - International Women's Day

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

As we try to be Brown But Better Men, it's always worth looking at the journey, growth, and challenges of Women and there's no better time to do that than on International Women's Day. We all have mothers, sisters, cousins, daughters etc who face challenges that we as Men simply don't. But by understanding some of those, we can not only help them but also help society as a whole too.

Ep 30 - How To Handle Change

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

In this episode, I look at the thing that is the only constant in this world - change.

Now, many people don't like change. It's hard, it's uncomfortable, and all round, they think it's not great. But what if that change is forced upon you? Death? Job Loss? Someone breaks into your house or crashes into your car? Then what?

We often don't prepare for the hard changes in life but with this episode, you'll have at least some of the tools and understanding you need to go through it in a healthy way.

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 22:51:10 GMT

A wide ranging convo for this one!

I was always a nice guy growing up, and still think of myself as a nice guy in a lot of ways. But if I had been a good guy instead, things could have been different.

Now mental health is something I've talked about a bit, and our guest today has his own views on depression, and a new perspective of things after his friend voluntarily made the final journey to the other side.

We also talk about South Asian living as Brown guys and some of the challenges of it. And there's one tip or bits of life advice we'd share to any young South Asian male.

Ep 26 - Brown Fathers, Masculinity, and Vulnerability

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Ah the stoic Brown father. The old school masculine type who faces any hardship without saying a word.

The right way to go about things? Probably not.

I'm looking at how stoic fathers can shape family dynamics and how we can use vulnerability to create better relationships for some of our father figures or male role models in our lives.

Ep 24 - How To Just Start

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Why is it we always have those projects we want to start, but never do?

Why do we get stuck at that point just before launching?

And what can we do to fix that?

In this episode, I talk about the fear of failure and why we, or our minds, stop us from starting and growing. With us trying to cultivate a growth mindset, a big part of that is trying new things being comfortable with failure so that we can learn, but sometimes that failure feels deeper than just surface level because of how it reflects on us. This episode looks to address that so we can all just start!

Ep 23 - Learned Helplessness And How It Affects Our Older Generations

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 07:00:00 GMT

What happens when you help out your parents when you're younger with setting up their new phones, then with an online document, then with booking something...

Well eventually they become a victim of learned helplessness.

But what can we do to actually affect that, and why is it important to go back to teaching mode to support those around you who need that help?

We chat about how they got to know each other, their struggles making Punjabi friends, what brought them close together, and hear about some of their views on how other people can strengthen their friendships.

People may not realise it, but having close friendships and a good social life is something that massively affects one's wellbeing, health, and even how long they live for. Unfortunately though, 1 in 3 people in the UK, do not have close friends and this is something we want to fix or help with!

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 06:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we hear from different South Asians from across the creative industries including their challenges, successes, and some tips that they would share to other people looking to become a creative.

Creative industries have generally been a no-go area for a lot of South Asian/Brown people due to the volatility of the markets, the potential instability of earnings, and the stigmas or views associated with those industries but, as we hear from the people on today's show, it's not all bad and there is success on the other side.

We've all been there. You want to do something novel, cool, out of the box, you ask your parents or someone and they say "No, what would people say?"

It's something that's pretty common in South Asian families and cultures but where does it come from?

And how can we move past it on a personal level so that we still feel comfortable with our decisions?

These are some of the things I cover in this episode about the "What would people say" attitude.

Ep 8 - Male Loneliness, How It Affects Us, and What We Can Do to Tackle it

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 06:00:00 GMT

In this episode I talk about Male Loneliness - is it an epidemic? What are the risks of being Lonely, and what can we do about it?

You can follow @BrownButBetter on Instagram

Stats:

Up to 85% of adults across the country have experienced loneliness within the past 12 months

https://www.menshealth.com/uk/mental-strength/a63247115/britains-loneliness-epidemic/

In the United States, 1 out of 4 men have zero close friendships in their lives, while in the United Kingdom, this rate is 1 out of 3.

https://gender.stanford.edu/news/mens-loneliness-feminist-issue-men-without-men

Research conducted in 2021 by the American Survey Center reported that 15% of men claim they have no close friends, a 12% increase since 1990. Equimundo published a study in 2023 that found a majority of men from Millennials to Gen Z agree with the statement, “No one really knows me well.”

https://aspenvalleyhealth.org/healthy-journey/loneliness-in-men/

Why do we need to pay attention to loneliness?

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in America

https://fortune.com/well/2025/05/21/gen-z-millennial-men-loneliness/

Loneliness and social isolation can, for example, increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by nearly one third. This is partly due to the influence of physiological mechanisms, such as activation of the stress response and inflammation that loneliness triggers. Loneliness also increases the risk of high blood pressure, a leading cause of death from cardiovascular disease.

In this episode, I talk about one key trait that I think should be passed on to the younger generation in Brown families. I also share some other traits that people believe should be passed down from responses to a question I posed on Instagram.
