Episode 155: Malcolm Askew & Anthony Moore – Building “The Cave” & Redefining Brotherhood

In Episode 155, I sit down with my guys Malcolm Askew and Anthony Moore to talk about the creation and growth of our men’s group, “The Cave.” What started as a vision has turned into a powerful brotherhood. Since last February, we’ve been meeting every Tuesday night at Havana's Wine and Cigar Lounge in downtown Gainesville to build community, accountability, and real connection among men. In this episode, we discuss: * Why we started The Cave * The growth and impact we’ve seen over the past year * The importance of mental and physical health for men * Why men need safe spaces and support groups * Breaking the stigma around mental health — especially within Black men This conversation is honest, necessary, and rooted in brotherhood. If you’ve ever felt like men don’t have enough spaces to be open, vulnerable, and supported — this episode is for you. Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe. And if you’re in Gainesville, pull up on a Tuesday night. #TheCave #MensMentalHealth #BlackMenHealing #Brotherhood #PodcastEpisode155
