EP 269 Masculinity, Money & Mindset with Argustic Dunbar

Stuck In My Mind Podcast

Episode Description:

In this standout episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes Augustic Dunbar—a no-nonsense lifestyle coach for men, founder of the King’s Corner community, and proponent of unapologetic masculinity. With a reputation for helping men break limiting societal scripts and build lives of genuine freedom, Augustic brings his signature bold, unfiltered perspective to a conversation overflowing with insights on masculinity, money, mindset, and living life on your own terms.

The episode kicks off with Wize challenging Augustic to reveal the precise moment he turned away from society’s expectations. Augustic shares a raw, personal story about heartbreak, mentorship, and a pivotal lesson from his coach about self-reliance, compatibility, and the roots of embarrassment. He breaks down how truly knowing and accepting your human nature can dissolve negative emotions and free you from the burden of others’ opinions.

When it comes to masculinity, Augustic is unflinching. He dissects the idea of “king energy”—where self-respect and self-first living are non-negotiables—and recounts personal experiences that shape his views on relationships, gender roles, and the importance of men having clear standards and requirements. For Augustic, an “outstanding lifestyle” is defined by its inspirational power: living so audaciously that your life makes others marvel at what’s possible and motivates them to chase their own dreams. He strongly believes most men settle for less due to fear of sacrifice and change, not lack of opportunity.

Augustic doesn’t shy away from controversial topics. He tackles a major lie men need to unlearn: the notion that relationships are built by catering to what women want at the expense of their own needs. Through sharp analogies and hard-earned wisdom, he asserts that true success in relationships—and life—comes when men are purpose-driven, self-aware, and prioritize their goals and standards.

Shifting gears, Wize digs into Augustic’s role as a tech coach. Augustic details his journey in the lucrative tech field, especially in RPA (Robotic Process Automation), demystifying why now is the best time for men to break into tech and scale their income, all while maintaining work-life balance and peace of mind. His philosophy? Build from a place of rest, not constant hustle, and set boundaries so you can enjoy both material success and personal well-being.

The dialogue moves fluidly between practical advice and deeper, philosophical discussions. Augustic reflects on being a father from a young age and how parenthood shapes his values around leadership, authenticity, and legacy. He openly discusses vulnerability as a masculine strength, challenging stereotypes by sharing his own openness with emotions, and stresses the necessity for transparency and clear communication in male friendships and relationships.

Faith and spirituality also make an appearance as Augustic explains his evolving beliefs—from forced church attendance as a child, to passionate atheism, and now to a more mature, nuanced appreciation of spiritual growth and self-improvement, grounded in universal principles and self-love.

The societal landscape is a recurring theme, with Augustic and Wize analyzing why masculinity is often devalued or mislabeled as “toxic.” Augustic insists, with unwavering conviction, that both masculine and feminine energies are essential—and that true masculinity is about controlled power, not aggression or weakness. He sharply critiques trends that undermine male confidence, the demonization of traditional male roles, and the generational shift in relationship dynamics.

Listeners are given a front-row seat to advice on reinvention, overcoming the fear of “starting late,” and the crucial role of quality male friendships. Augustic’s answer to men feeling “behind”: progress, no matter how small, is the real source of happiness.

The episode culminates in actionable takeaways. Augustic invites men to join King’s Corner, a unique community for transparent discussion, growth, and reclaiming control over their lives—emphasizing that no matter what area of life men want to improve (career, relationships, self-confidence), the path starts with radical self-love and putting yourself first.

With candid stories, vulnerable moments, and a relentless drive to uplift men, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in honest conversations about masculinity, self-mastery, wealth, and personal legacy. Tune in for a conversation that’s as practical as it is provocative, and be ready to rethink what it means to truly live as a man—on your own terms.
