This year brought loss, love, and lessons I never saw coming. In this short, special episode, I reflect on the wild ride of letting go—of toxic spaces, old versions of myself, and even those I’ve loved and lost. From grief to gratitude, I’m holding space for the light and the heavy moments. If you’ve felt the weight of this year too, this one’s for you.

Toxic managers can turn a workplace into a battlefield, casting shadows over everything from team dynamics to personal mental health. Through a mix of personal stories and hard truths, I unravel the traits that define these figures of control and intimidation. My own experiences highlight the systemic forces at play, particularly as a black man navigating corporate America, and reveal how these toxic environments can devalue and undermine entire teams. Discover why choosing mental health over toxic workplaces can be a transformative decision, and learn strategies to shield yourself from these damaging influences.
As season four of the Hyman Podcast kicks off, I shine a spotlight on toxic leadership that can suffocate an entire organization. From manipulated budgets to unfair pay, I share anecdotes that underscore the long-lasting impact of such environments on employee morale and satisfaction.Send us a text

In Season 4 we delve deep into the dark corners of toxic leadership and its insidious impact on workplace environments. Drawing from personal experience, I expose the chaos sown by a manager who turned a place meant for healing into a battleground of fear and dysfunction. This season isn't just about one bad boss; it's about a flawed system that enables such behavior, forcing good employees to sacrifice their well-being. Through candid storytelling and unflinching honesty, we'll confront the harsh realities of toxic management and explore the cost of choosing self-preservation over career stability. Join me as we pull back the curtain on a world where bullies no longer get to hide in the shadows.
