The Truth About Why Black Men Aren’t Getting Hired Feat. Glenn Bradford

Season 9, Episode 18 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast dives deep into the emotional burnout, job market frustration, and silent battles faced by young millennial men. Featuring Glenn Bradford, creator of the Tough Enough brand, this episode doesn’t sugarcoat the reality: sometimes it really feels like having the degrees, certifications, and all the “right” moves still isn’t enough to get a callback — and no, it’s not just you. Glenn and Izzy get real about what it's like to apply for over 500 jobs, rack up rejection emails in under 15 minutes, and feel like you’ve done everything right — from rewriting your resume for ATS scanners to writing the “white woman letters” that supposedly get attention — and still end up unemployed, underpaid, or undervalued.

If you’ve ever felt like the system was rigged, especially as a Black man being told by your parents you “must be the problem,” this one’s for you. From beefing with Indeed (because who actually gets a job from there?) to facing job market stagnation where no raises, no promotions, and no opportunity feel like the new normal — Glenn shares how he’s navigating entrepreneurship, corporate letdowns, and keeping his mental peace in a season of waiting.

This episode is also about learning how to hold your head high when the world makes you feel disposable. It’s about keeping it real — admitting when you’re in a drought, but choosing to stay positive and keep tweaking your approach. Because corporate broke and entrepreneur broke are two different struggles, but both can lead to depression, disconnection, and a dangerous loss of self-worth if you're not careful.

Glenn reminds us that “everything is an interview,” whether it's a free project or a content shoot for exposure. And sometimes, relationships — not résumés — open doors. Whether you're hustling for referrals on LinkedIn or trying to stack certifications just to feel employable, this episode is a raw, motivating look at surviving career limbo, choosing peace over panic, and staying tough enough to keep going.

Listen if you're tired of hearing "just network" when your phone stays dry, you're wondering if you're the only one overeducated and underemployed, you're trying to decide whether to keep applying or just build your own thing, or you need a laugh, a truth bomb, and a reminder that you're not crazy — this system is broken.
