This might be your best video Sinbad. Definitely will resonate with a ton of younger guys who feel lost. At 28, the 5 things I would tell myself at 20 would be: • The minute you start thinking about not doing something you want to do, that's when you have to do it. • Be brave. • Nobody is thinking about your last mistake. • Do what you want because you only get one life. • Be true to yourself even if it affects other people.
@@crystyxn Even if something terrifies you to your core, you do it anyway. If you're afraid to fail at something, you do it despite that fear. Being brave is so essential as it pertains to being a man.
I'm 22 minutes in but I have to say this guy is a f*cking legend. The way he confronts his fear, the way he acknowledges it and is open about it. The way he does not only have knowledge of his self but also acts upon it. F*cking A. Grateful as f*ck for being able to get some of this embodied wisdom. Thanks Sinbad.
This channel makes me feel sane and helps me break through the anti-Indian masculinity narratives mainstream media pushes. So proud of your work bestie!
@@Aquabyte generally in cinema and media indians are portrayed as unattractive nerds who don’t get women, so nikhil is kind of a counterbalance to that narrative.
Not even half way through the episode and I can feel the authenticity behind every word coming out of Henry's mouth. He is an excellent and articulate communicator. Great episode so far and looking forward to enjoying the rest of it!
Authenticity is something I have been struggling with but making steady progress on. It is difficult bc I find myself mimicking Hamza, first man and sometimes even you bc you guys are the reason I started my channel. But the reality is no one wants to watch a clone of someone else. Learning to embrace your own identity is what will set you apart and draw others towards you.
Authenticity is everything brother. Your own beliefs, concepts, experiences and systems are what you have to bring to the world. You’re right, no one wants a clone. But they do want people with real world knowledge and experience. My favorite example ends up being Kris for me, and then Sinbad himself. They both have real world, high level experience at this point both in the real world and the online space, this gives their perspectives real weight and value. I know they are all mates and have mutual respect for each other, to me personally Hamza is the odd one out. To me he represents a personality who’s really only success to this point is building an online audience by saying the right things and having charisma. He’s just off making videos and playing with his bros in Asia, filming in the evenings. He just to me represents a young man who has had an early win and is out celebrating that. He doesn’t have the same depth of experience as others in this space, doesn’t have as much real world experience practicing what he’s preaching. A persons life is so much more than what you see their camera capture, you know that.
As an Indian, I've been afraid of asking out White Women on date, I always get this inferiority complex, and anxiety in my head out of no where. I am a 6'0 feet tall Indian guy, in decent shape, and I work out 5x a week, but growing up, I've noticed that Media and Hollywood have always portrayed Indian Men as weak beta males, look at Apu from the Simpsons for example. I really need to know how to get over this inferiority complex as an Indian Man. Not just Indian, but South Asian Men in general have been mostly portrayed as being weak, fat, ugly and uninteresting. Anyone else feel the same way?
As an Indian dude myself, don't bother. How often do you ever see white girls with our kind. The only thing America wants from us is to provide cheap labor in the tech industry.
Every stereotype is based on a small truth and this is how a stereotype is born. Indian immigrants to the US historically, at least, were mostly the intellectual and entrepreneurial class that moved there. Neither of these groups had a focus on fitness, workou, dating and most importantly gave zero attention to US media, focusing on their own regional cinema back home in India. They were mostly traditionalists who got arranged married, didn't date outside their community, and their sole purpose was to make enough money to support family back home in India and support their family in the US. Which is why Apu was the portrayal of the typical Indian in the US - the smart educated degree holder who opens a grocery store in the US to make his money. What pisses me off about people who hate on Apu though is that if you actually watch the Simpsons, Apu is anything but a beta male loser. He is portrayed as an extremely hard working immigrant, he is fully involved in his local community, at one point he joins an acapella group that wins a Grammy and when he goes to a bachelor dating convention, he winds up being the most eligible bachelor, going on multiple dates with women across Springfield. Even when he is forced into an arranged marriage, his romantic gestures towards his wife becomes the talk of the town, with every woman jealous of his wife and every husband angry at Apu that he is making them look bad in front of their wives. Heck, he even ends up having an affair with the pretty blonde who delivers to his store. Which makes the whole Apu hate weird. Is it because he has an accent that is, for a new migrant, actually appropriate? We see that the Simpsons does that with the other characters who are also first generation Americans like Groundskeeper Willie (Scottish) and the Italian chef at the restaurant. I think the reason Apu gets such hate is because, other than the Simpsons, there was no other portrayal of an Indian man on US television and the other problem is the Simpsons keeps going on, even though it should have been cancelled more than 20 years ago. So Indians who have grown up in the US - in the school and playgrounds, when they are bullied by their peers - what is the only representation of Indians on US television? Apu And this is why it's that generation of Indians that are mad at Apu. But really, they need stop thinking about this emotionally and thinking more rationally. Most Indian Americans have only started to make inroads into US TV and Movies post 2001. And the reason for this is because, unlike before, they can actually pursue a career like this without their parents pressuring them not to. This is why I'm hopeful for some change in the portrayal of Indians in the US because they have also been able to move out of the arranged plan their parents created for them and their parents have also understood that the whole point of moving to the West was to let their children pursue opportunities they never could have dreamed off.
I’m glad that you’ve transformed the podcast into these types of videos with specific time-stamps and life lessons like your other videos. This will be great for your channel imo.
I don't even know what to comment, that was such an incredible conversation to listen to. I thought I had certain things figured out, I didn't, this was a very confrontational wakeup call that I needed. Thank you both!
Following orders? That one hits home. I used to think working out was hard. But it is hard when you try to figure things out on your own. But when I have a coach, it becomes easier. There is some kind of mental comfort in just doing what you are told to do. You don't have to think too much. Let the coach do the thinking. You just do what the coach tells you to do.
I sympathize with the guest, I have struggled with food addiction all through my 20s. Yo-yo dieting up and down 70 pounds at a time over the course of 6-12 month intervals. He is spot on when he says at the end you hate consuming whatever youre addicted to but you just find yourself doing it. I find myself at the point where I live in NH and work in boston so I leave my phone and credit cards at home and arrive home when everything in my town is closed and there is no transportation and my house is devoid all all junk food and then I am able to stick to my diet around 90% of the time. The guest brings up the idea of a self fulfilling prophecy, you think youre going to fail so you experience the failure even you dont fail or if you think you will hve ED you will experience ED. Its important to be careful with this though. In economics Malthusian predictions dont come true because the awareness to make the prediction is the awareness that allows the system to change and prevent the prediction from coming true, a sort of self negating prophecy. If you dont think the worst will happen sometimes it will because you didnt take the steps to prevent it. As most things in life somewhere in the middle is ideal.
This guy f*cking gets it. He nails describing what anxiety is like. And after a year of journaling, I've come to nearly the same takeaways as him. This dude gets it
The section on letting your real self come through really resonated with me - when I was younger I'd try to mold myself into a what a conventionally "attractive" woman I thought people would want to date but instead that attracted the wrong kind of person for me. Once I stopped and focused on just being true to myself, I was much happier (and now in the most healthiest relationship I've been in ever).

The way he talks about alcohol and how it did something that it doesn't do with most other people is what happened with me and porn. Saw it first time when I was 7, it was like a bomb went off in my head. Hands and body shaking, head spinning etc. Almost 40 years later, it's still a major part of my life, have never been able to stop for more than 3 months.

Henry is spot on about confronting anxiety. I'm going thru the same process. It's just about being honest with yourself about who 'you' really are AND what your flaws are. By realizing your flaws; you can take responsibility for fixing those problems
Thank you Henry and Nikhil! I’ve been sober from weed and tobacco for 6 months, been on Nofap hard mode for 6 months, and haven’t drank alcohol for 18 months. Just remember friends, you can change 🙏🏾💪🏾
Henry is so self aware and articulate. Excellent talk! Keep on uploading bangers like these and sponsors will be queuing up to sponsor the 'damage men podcast'. 🤘
I am feeling a lot more confident after seeing that a big and strong as fu** guy is imperfect and has a lot fears, What I have learned from this videos, First Face your fears and then FUCK them :). GREAT VIDEO NIKHIL
37:08 , I exactly felt the same, How can a person come up with 5 really sensible things to say That list was really inspirational, he definitely has a lot of life experience and a content creator inside him
I was thinking on making a video on the same topic man! Lol. Great minds think alike. My whole purpose was to let men know that chasing women, instant gratification, doing a regular job, following a set path for the rest of your life is not all there is to life. And ofc above all, brahmacharya. More people need to know about this
I will say it again - this channel/ dmg man podcast will blow up this and the next year. Thank you to everyone from your team for those life changing episodes 💯🧘♂️
I just faced ED for the first time in my life yesterday and it's the most humiliating and vicious cycle that all takes place in your head. I loved how he brings it up in such a raw and transparent way. This talk was amazing!
Remaining true to yourself can be hard, especially around others. Growing up, I constantly tried to please everyone; I'd pretend to be well-versed with topics I didn't know anything about and I watched myself apologize for every minor inconvenience, even when I knew that the fault wasn't mine. Eventually this caught up to me, and the irony of it is that no matter how artificial my words felt when I spoke, there was nothing forcing me to change. For me, it took reflection to actually recognize what I was doing that didn't sit right within me, because oftentimes I would rationalize these tendencies to avoid having to regret them. I think that at a certain point you have to stop feeling sorry for yourself to move forward, regardless of how shameful you feel of your past habits. Knowing that you change makes it at least worth trying. Hearing these ideas from you and Henry in this episode, especially regarding authenticity, inspires me to share my own experiences. Appreciate the rawness of this one, keep going at it man.
Holy. Shit. Completely blown away by this episode, didn't expect something like this. Henry is such a cool dude and the stuff he told about his life, addictions and inner struggles in such detail is fascinating and it resonates a bit with me. Had my own battles with substances but not on the same level as he had. Really glad he overcame all the bullshit and got stronger and better. I would like to mention all the topics that were discussed in this episode because everything is on point and very helpful but there's no need for that. Thank you for inviting Henry and just wanna say that this is a Great episode, Nikhil.
This is guy is what I want to be like man, I've been struggling with social anxiety for years but man he really broke down everything, also like most people with anxiety issues I was also an alcoholic because it temporarily cures your anxiety but secretly makes it worse. Been sober for awhile now
It's a blessing to have such an experienced coach both in lifting and life. I once heard Joe Rogan say his favourite story is about a guy who mess up his life, come back and fix it. This was a really good watch.
Amazing episode, i am probably on the younger side of viewers but everything said here about anxiety and insecurities really resonated with me. i'll be incorporating this wise man's words as much as i can
Inner dialogue "Sure, sure we all have alcoholism in our families you're not special dude" he says "As soon as I did drugs the voices in my head shut up." Then I felt total connection and wanted to hear more. Inner dialogue judge fail.
If I had a duck for every *uck word said here, I would have a farm so large I would need employees. Jokes aside, I have no idea how did you find such a guy, that was great! I was hesitant to watch at first, because I'm getting into a mindset that no improvement list ever shown contains "watch more videos on RUclips", what you have even said at one moment - if people felt they are OK, they would not need to watch channels like this one. So either I act like someone broken that needs this stuff, or like someone that DOESN'T. Nevertheless, it was a joyful interview. One nitpick, though: while Henry was looking to the side of the camera, suggesting a triangle with corners being participants and a single stack of cameras, you, Captain, were staring at the lens, even more, not just looking directly, but as if trying to intimidate or get a crime confession. Were you nervous or something? 🙃
Was thirsting for a new BTK episode! This one did not fail to feed my dopamine-based addiction to the idea of one day being great, lol. Time to take action..."Fuck a sponsor!" 😎
summary: Resistance training is a phenomonal way to better mental health, confidence, etc etc... Effectively, lifting is the best thing ever... there is nothing better than putting yourself through purposeful pain and suffering to grow on the most meta level... your body! Be decisive, and take action... fairly straight forward shit, its always just doing A to get B... fundemental shit of reality, if nothing changes nothing changes.. To grow / better yourself, you must face your fears... Fairly trivial proposition. Of course you must face those fears, otherwise you don't take action... And if it was easy, everyone would have it... You need to be a andrew tate type.. Be authentic... Betters your dating, friendships etc etc ... Also burns less mental capital, and you find true more real connection...
its hard to say, i think one day it will be the JUST DO IT PODCAST, it will be sposored by nike, and nike will tell all of us I TOLD YOU SO !! DONT THINK JUDGE, JUST FUCKING DO IT, i love you
I love the idea of just doing whatever gives you anxiety. I have done this throughout my life where I learned as a kid how to just have these out of body experiences where I just shut off my mind and let my body just move without getting in its way. I think the most important rule with this is never let yourself take more than 10 second from getting the idea to do something to starting because all it takes is 10 second for your mind to figure out reasons why you shouldnt or why you will fail. Just start and of course you will fail along the way but consistent incremental daily progress is the name of the game. One point brought up in relation to dating girls is they are just people. My counter to this (of course they are people this isnt some misogynist shit) is people who are dating have no idea what is relevant to look for in a long term partner. People care about whether or not their date can give them a lifestyle of vacations, expensive things, sexual compatibility etc... None of this is relevant, another person has almost no influence on how happy you are that is up to you, but the other person can drastically influence how miserable you are so the correct thing to do is to find people with an absence of red flags. You and your partner will be together for 60 years, you 2 can learn how to please each other in bed, learn each others sense of humor and learn to appreciate the hobbies of your partner if for no other reason than enjoying being with the person you love while they do what they love. Dating is about getting your partner to get out of their own way and decide they want to make the relationship work because the only factor in making a relationship work, aside from your date having major red flags, is whether or not both people want to make it work. Any relationship can be strong if both people decide they will stay even when times get tough and work through whatever problems they have.
This interview was so well done. i'm 23 and have been a self help junkie for a full year now. I I am very grateful and appreciative for the life advice given in the video considering I am literally between age 20-26. Much respect brothers :) Well done Sinbad👍
When the video first started and I realized Thomas wasn't in the video I was really skeptical about this, I thought it would probably be a bad episode. But after just a few minutes I realized this is THE best episode. Everything henry said was so raw and real and that's what made it incredibly inspiring. That was some real shit. Nikhil please bring on some more guests or Henry again this was amazing.
Been waiting for a new video from you and that's not something I say often of youtubers. Another excellent discussion -- I always take away something insightful, usually motivation or mindset related. Thank you!

Authenticity is everything brother. Your own beliefs, concepts, experiences and systems are what you have to bring to the world. You’re right, no one wants a clone. But they do want people with real world knowledge and experience.
My favorite example ends up being Kris for me, and then Sinbad himself. They both have real world, high level experience at this point both in the real world and the online space, this gives their perspectives real weight and value.
I know they are all mates and have mutual respect for each other, to me personally Hamza is the odd one out.

The energy of raw authenticity exuding from this video is GOLD. Never felt it this way in any other videos before.
Thank you Henry and Nikhil! I’ve been sober from weed and tobacco for 6 months, been on Nofap hard mode for 6 months, and haven’t drank alcohol for 18 months. Just remember friends, you can change 🙏🏾💪🏾
Henry is so self aware and articulate. Excellent talk! Keep on uploading bangers like these and sponsors will be queuing up to sponsor the 'damage men podcast'. 🤘
Missed the podcasts episodes man, glad it's back.
Thank you thank you thank you for bringing the podcast again.
I am feeling a lot more confident after seeing that a big and strong as fu** guy is imperfect and has a lot fears, What I have learned from this videos, First Face your fears and then FUCK them :). GREAT VIDEO NIKHIL
Thank you Sinbad,
I needed this episode...
"Fear will not kill you" - love this!! Your best podcast yet 👌
37:08 , I exactly felt the same, How can a person come up with 5 really sensible things to say
That list was really inspirational, he definitely has a lot of life experience and a content creator inside him
I was thinking on making a video on the same topic man! Lol. Great minds think alike. My whole purpose was to let men know that chasing women, instant gratification, doing a regular job, following a set path for the rest of your life is not all there is to life. And ofc above all, brahmacharya. More people need to know about this
I will say it again - this channel/ dmg man podcast will blow up this and the next year. Thank you to everyone from your team for those life changing episodes 💯🧘♂️
I just faced ED for the first time in my life yesterday and it's the most humiliating and vicious cycle that all takes place in your head. I loved how he brings it up in such a raw and transparent way. This talk was amazing!
ED?
Remaining true to yourself can be hard, especially around others. Growing up, I constantly tried to please everyone; I'd pretend to be well-versed with topics I didn't know anything about and I watched myself apologize for every minor inconvenience, even when I knew that the fault wasn't mine. Eventually this caught up to me, and the irony of it is that no matter how artificial my words felt when I spoke, there was nothing forcing me to change. For me, it took reflection to actually recognize what I was doing that didn't sit right within me, because oftentimes I would rationalize these tendencies to avoid having to regret them. I think that at a certain point you have to stop feeling sorry for yourself to move forward, regardless of how shameful you feel of your past habits. Knowing that you change makes it at least worth trying.
Hearing these ideas from you and Henry in this episode, especially regarding authenticity, inspires me to share my own experiences. Appreciate the rawness of this one, keep going at it man.
Holy. Shit. Completely blown away by this episode, didn't expect something like this. Henry is such a cool dude and the stuff he told about his life, addictions and inner struggles in such detail is fascinating and it resonates a bit with me. Had my own battles with substances but not on the same level as he had. Really glad he overcame all the bullshit and got stronger and better. I would like to mention all the topics that were discussed in this episode because everything is on point and very helpful but there's no need for that. Thank you for inviting Henry and just wanna say that this is a Great episode, Nikhil.
This is guy is what I want to be like man, I've been struggling with social anxiety for years but man he really broke down everything, also like most people with anxiety issues I was also an alcoholic because it temporarily cures your anxiety but secretly makes it worse. Been sober for awhile now
It's a blessing to have such an experienced coach both in lifting and life. I once heard Joe Rogan say his favourite story is about a guy who mess up his life, come back and fix it. This was a really good watch.
How Nikhil, man I'm in a slump right now, this really helped. And Henry is just great
Amazing episode, i am probably on the younger side of viewers but everything said here about anxiety and insecurities really resonated with me. i'll be incorporating this wise man's words as much as i can
This is a really really helpful podcast, i needed this. I'm 19 , thanks for changing my view on a lot of things.
Top 3 channels for self-improvement for me right now: Hamza, Captain Sinbad, 1stman.
Great advices! Thank you
Awesome interview with Henry! Love his self awareness and authenticity!
Inner dialogue "Sure, sure we all have alcoholism in our families you're not special dude" he says "As soon as I did drugs the voices in my head shut up." Then I felt total connection and wanted to hear more. Inner dialogue judge fail.
If I had a duck for every *uck word said here, I would have a farm so large I would need employees. Jokes aside, I have no idea how did you find such a guy, that was great! I was hesitant to watch at first, because I'm getting into a mindset that no improvement list ever shown contains "watch more videos on RUclips", what you have even said at one moment - if people felt they are OK, they would not need to watch channels like this one. So either I act like someone broken that needs this stuff, or like someone that DOESN'T. Nevertheless, it was a joyful interview.
One nitpick, though: while Henry was looking to the side of the camera, suggesting a triangle with corners being participants and a single stack of cameras, you, Captain, were staring at the lens, even more, not just looking directly, but as if trying to intimidate or get a crime confession. Were you nervous or something? 🙃
Beautiful episode man. True bravery from this man with his mindset.
Was thirsting for a new BTK episode! This one did not fail to feed my dopamine-based addiction to the idea of one day being great, lol. Time to take action..."Fuck a sponsor!" 😎
Take a shot every time he says “does that make sense?”
RRR got lot of praise from American audiences. Will you make a video on something related?
can't express how relatable this episode felt
summary:
Resistance training is a phenomonal way to better mental health, confidence, etc etc...
Effectively, lifting is the best thing ever... there is nothing better than putting yourself through purposeful pain and suffering to grow on the most meta level... your body!
Be decisive, and take action... fairly straight forward shit, its always just doing A to get B... fundemental shit of reality, if nothing changes nothing changes..
To grow / better yourself, you must face your fears... Fairly trivial proposition. Of course you must face those fears, otherwise you don't take action... And if it was easy, everyone would have it... You need to be a andrew tate type..
Be authentic... Betters your dating, friendships etc etc ... Also burns less mental capital, and you find true more real connection...
its hard to say, i think one day it will be the JUST DO IT PODCAST, it will be sposored by nike, and nike will tell all of us I TOLD YOU SO !!
DONT THINK JUDGE, JUST FUCKING DO IT,
i love you
That was powerful 🔥 Thank you, Henry, for participating, and thank you, Nikhil, for bring this podcast back :)
lmao the start says becoming the killer podcast but it ends with damaged men podcast. perfect
Great episode Captain....does that make sense?
Wow....I like the guest story... glad to hear he is conquering his addiction.
more raw than everything. people are so superficial these days and the key I got is just go with the universe flow man..
Nilkhil just made a fantastic video. A fantastic one.
The knowledge this guy dropped in this video alone is worthy of a book
Two to three years later it won't matter. Fck LES GO,!
I love the idea of just doing whatever gives you anxiety. I have done this throughout my life where I learned as a kid how to just have these out of body experiences where I just shut off my mind and let my body just move without getting in its way. I think the most important rule with this is never let yourself take more than 10 second from getting the idea to do something to starting because all it takes is 10 second for your mind to figure out reasons why you shouldnt or why you will fail. Just start and of course you will fail along the way but consistent incremental daily progress is the name of the game.
One point brought up in relation to dating girls is they are just people. My counter to this (of course they are people this isnt some misogynist shit) is people who are dating have no idea what is relevant to look for in a long term partner. People care about whether or not their date can give them a lifestyle of vacations, expensive things, sexual compatibility etc... None of this is relevant, another person has almost no influence on how happy you are that is up to you, but the other person can drastically influence how miserable you are so the correct thing to do is to find people with an absence of red flags. You and your partner will be together for 60 years, you 2 can learn how to please each other in bed, learn each others sense of humor and learn to appreciate the hobbies of your partner if for no other reason than enjoying being with the person you love while they do what they love. Dating is about getting your partner to get out of their own way and decide they want to make the relationship work because the only factor in making a relationship work, aside from your date having major red flags, is whether or not both people want to make it work. Any relationship can be strong if both people decide they will stay even when times get tough and work through whatever problems they have.
Best episode so far
loved that guy
listening to it for the 3rd time while decluttering my room #Minimalist Matt D'Avella Fan
Would love to see Henry back on pod after sometime. He's a gem.
Henry is so authentic and amazing. A true man. Inspiring episode bro
Amazing episode and one of the most impressive guests so far, does that make sense?
This podcast changed my life
Wow. I relate to this guy's entire life story so much
Everything Just resonates with me Awesome bro.😀😀😀😀
That makes sense
That makes sense
This podcast put me inside the gym. The gym is helping me change my life. It's been more than 3 months. Glad to see the DMP back
tell me why this guy looks like the guy from more plates more dates lol
The name of the video doesn't make it justice but this is absolutely great, thank you for making it
This might be the best conversation I’ve ever heard
What an awesome and insightful episode.
The motivation I needed to kill today 🙌 excited to grow with you man!
This interview was so well done. i'm 23 and have been a self help junkie for a full year now. I I am very grateful and appreciative for the life advice given in the video considering I am literally between age 20-26. Much respect brothers :) Well done Sinbad👍
The guy was so much self aware and that’s a really beautiful quality to have
Is there any way to follow Henry for more wisdom?
When the video first started and I realized Thomas wasn't in the video I was really skeptical about this, I thought it would probably be a bad episode. But after just a few minutes I realized this is THE best episode. Everything henry said was so raw and real and that's what made it incredibly inspiring. That was some real shit. Nikhil please bring on some more guests or Henry again this was amazing.
what a genuine, cool, GOOD guy!!
i know what is like to be fcked in the head and deal with it with drugs, a road to death.
I'm in recovery too this is an awesome interview
A beast of a man with a great voice also 👍🏼
Been waiting for a new video from you and that's not something I say often of youtubers. Another excellent discussion -- I always take away something insightful, usually motivation or mindset related. Thank you!
