About this listen

Today we welcome Brandon Saho, mental health advocate, motivational speaker, and founder of The Mental Game podcast. In this conversation, we dive into Brandon’s personal mental health journey— what it was like navigating depression, alcohol addiction, and suicidal ideation while building a high-profile career in sports reporting. Brandon shares candidly about therapy, sobriety, masculinity, and the long, nonlinear process of learning to love himself and ask for help.

We then pivot to the topic of singleness after one of Brandon’s videos went viral where he openly shared his fear of never becoming a husband or father. Together, we explore loneliness, modern dating, rejection, masculinity, and the pressure to have life figured out by a certain age. This episode is an honest, human conversation about healing, identity, and the universal desire to be seen, chosen, and loved, reminding us that even when life looks good on the outside, there’s often so much more happening beneath the surface.
