Founders don’t just build companies—they hold families, teams, and futures together. In this BizBlend conversation, Yusef “Mista Yu” Marshall—high-performance coach, ordained minister, and host of the They Call Me Mr. Yu podcast network—gets practical about mental health for entrepreneurs: embracing silence in a noisy world, setting standards with softness, and leading a blended family while scaling brands. Expect clear, usable tactics for burnout prevention, boundary language, journaling, and the three-R framework: Recognize, Release, Replenish. If you’re a solopreneur or founder balancing growth with well-being, this is your playbook.
About the guest:
Yusef “Mista Yu” Marshall is a high-performance coach, ordained minister, and best-selling co-author of Born to Risk (2nd Ed.). He leads multiple podcasts under the “They Call Me Mr. Yu” brand and mentors founders on discipline, leadership, and family culture.
Key takeaways:
-
Silence is a skill: schedule device-free blocks (30–60 minutes) to assess reality without noise and re-enter work with clarity.
-
Intentionality beats intensity: get up an hour earlier or log off an hour sooner to protect mental health like a mission-critical asset.
-
Standards with softness: discipline is a guideline for growth, not a weapon for shame; miss a day, recalibrate, continue.
-
Three-R framework: Recognize signals (poor sleep, stress), Release perfectionism and others’ expectations, Replenish through sleep, walks, and journaling.
-
Founders as keystones: if you go down, the effort stalls—prioritize you to protect the mission.
-
Boundaries that land: set clear rules for access, meetings, and screens; “I’m unavailable 7–8 a.m. for deep work; I’ll respond after 10.”
-
Family culture under pressure: in blended families, pair learning (books, mentors) with accountability circles and non-negotiable couple time.
-
Success redefined: small, consistent seeds compound; measure by alignment and follow-through, not external validation.
