The Men's Roundtable Series
Every Thursday at 7pm EST, “The Men’s Roundtable Series” is a global conversation space where men come together to address real issues—identity, pressure, relationships, purpose, and personal struggles—in an environment built on honesty and growth.
Through open dialogue and shared experience, the goal is RESTORATION—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
NEW Every Thursday!!!!! Alongside the roundtable, “The Men’s Interview Spotlight” features one-on-one conversations with men who have overcome the father wound, broken through the need for validation, and redefined how they see themselves and the world.
These aren’t just stories—they’re blueprints for healing and growth.
Here's where you can book that one-on-one interview or if you'd like to be considered as a future panelist on the show: 🔗 Men’s Roundtable Series: https://calendly.com/yusefmichaelmarshall/themrts
