Is There a Difference Between Black Lives Matter and Men?

Anks: I think it's the feeling that i should be there to help and support a woman may be more than men, because maybe there is that idea in my head that has been implanted that men can just figure it out. Maybe there is little bit o that because of my relationsip with my mam when i was younger. So i am trying to work on feeling like i don't need to to be a saviour or help someone just because of their gender. Anks: Every one is dealing with something, and we all deserve the same amount of respect.

Episode notes

How do we measure our strength and value as men? We’re joined by one of YouTube’s original success stories, comedian, and co-creator of SMOSH and founder of Pressalike Productions, Anthony Padilla.

Anthony’s refreshing openness and honesty invites us to find strength in vulnerability and reminds us that our value is not measured by what we do, but by who we are.

Anthony shares his story and experiences on a wide range of topics including:

Achieving success, the pressure he felt to entertain, and why he took the risk to be true to himself, pivot his content, and focus on making the world a better place
How his unique way of expressing himself outside of traditional gender norms has been criticized and policed by men and women alike throughout his life
The pressure to provide for the people in his life above his own needs
Depression, panic attacks, and the effect the pandemic is having on mental health
The importance of opening up, not judging our feelings, and facing our traumas
