In this episode of A Black Executive Perspective, hosts Tony Tidbit and Chris P. Reed sit down with Dr. Michael Mauney — pastor, author, and founder of the Manhood Institute — for a powerful conversation about restoring the true meaning of manhood.

Drawing from his book, The Christian Manhood Pledge, Dr. Mauney challenges men to reclaim their integrity, purpose, and faith in a culture that often confuses strength with status. The discussion explores the unique struggles Black men face, the power of accountability, and the urgent need for strong male role models and mentors.

Dr. Mauney also highlights the vital role women play in advancing this movement and how community engagement can spark generational change. At its core, this episode is a call to action — a reminder that real transformation begins within, and that rebuilding families, faith, and communities starts when men rise to their divine purpose.
