    Mark Dohner Gets Real About Mental Health, Self Worth & Why You Are Enough | HINESIGHTS Podcast | EP 181

    What does it really mean to believe that YOU ARE ENOUGH? In this powerful episode of the HINESIGHTS Podcast, Kevin Hines sits down with creator, entrepreneur, storyteller, and digital media personality Mark Dohner for a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about mental health, identity, success, struggle, purpose, self worth, resilience, healing, and what it takes to keep moving forward when life does not go according to plan. This conversation goes beyond followers, views, success, recognition, and what the outside world sees. Because sometimes the person who appears to have everything together is fighting a battle nobody else knows exists. And sometimes the most important realization of your life is understanding that your worth was never supposed to be measured by your productivity, popularity, bank account, achievements, mistakes, relationships, failures, or the opinions of other people. You are enough. That message is also at the heart of a movement Kevin is incredibly proud to stand behind: We Are ENOUGH, founded by Kevin’s friend, entrepreneur, philanthropist, mental health advocate, bestselling author, and TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie. Blake helped transform purpose driven entrepreneurship through TOMS, which gave away more than 100 million pairs of shoes. But despite extraordinary outward success, Blake has spoken openly about reaching an incredibly painful point in his own mental health journey and confronting a belief that had followed him for years: that somehow, he was still not enough. That experience ultimately helped inspire a new mission centered on an extraordinarily simple but powerful truth: I AM ENOUGH. YOU ARE ENOUGH. WE ARE ENOUGH. It is a movement and what Blake describes as a cultural intervention designed to challenge one of the most damaging messages so many human beings internalize: that our worth must somehow be earned. The movement asks us to reject the endless pressure to become more. Your worth is not waiting at the end of another accomplishment. You have worth right now. Kevin Hines is deeply honored to stand alongside Blake and the We Are ENOUGH mission as a founding partner, helping carry this message into communities around the world. And that is where the ENOUGH bracelet becomes something much bigger than something you wear. ENOUGH bracelets are designed to create connection and serve as visible reminders of worth. Keep a bracelet as a reminder for yourself. Give another to someone who may need to hear the message. Start the conversation. You are enough. You always have been. The official We Are ENOUGH movement is also committed to putting resources behind that message, with 100 percent of profits funding mental health organizations. Join the movement and get your ENOUGH bracelet at: WEAREENOUGH.CO | Get an ENOUGH Bracelet and Join the Movement Wear it. Share it. Give one to somebody who needs the reminder. Start a conversation that might matter more than you realize. Imagine what could happen if millions of us became willing to look another human being in the eyes and remind them: YOU ARE ENOUGH. Kevin Hines has dedicated his life to mental health advocacy, suicide prevention, brain health, storytelling, filmmaking, and helping people recognize that tremendous pain does not have to become the end of their story. This episode with Mark Dohner is another reminder that mental health does not discriminate, success does not make anyone immune to struggle, vulnerability is not weakness. And visit We Are ENOUGH to learn about Blake Mycoskie’s mission, get an ENOUGH bracelet, share one with another human being, and become part of a movement working to change the way we think about mental health, self worth, belonging, connection, and healing. And sometimes that reminder arrives exactly when a human being needs it most. I AM ENOUGH. YOU ARE ENOUGH. WE ARE ENOUGH. #HINESIGHTS #HinesightsPodcast #KevinHines #MarkDohner #WeAreEnough #EnoughMovement #BlakeMycoskie

    The Cost To Be A Boss | Patrick McEnroe & Richard “Big Daddy” Salgado | EP 180 | HINESIGHTS Podcast

    Mental Toughness, Resilience & the Real Cost of Success | Patrick McEnroe & Richard “Big Daddy” Salgado | EP 180 | HINESIGHTS Podcast What does it really take to succeed at the highest levels and what happens when the trophies, headlines, connections, and accomplishments are stripped away? On this episode of the HINESIGHTS Podcast, Kevin Hines sits down with Patrick McEnroe and Richard “Big Daddy” Salgado, hosts of The Mac Daddy Show, for a powerful conversation about mental health, mental toughness, resilience, failure, leadership, discipline, relationships, purpose, and what success truly means. Patrick McEnroe is a Grand Slam champion, former professional tennis player, longtime ESPN broadcaster, former United States Davis Cup captain, and President of the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Drawing from decades inside elite professional tennis, Patrick shares why losing can become one of life’s greatest teachers, how the world’s best athletes develop mental toughness, and why even champions must actively train their minds. Patrick reflects on the lessons he learned growing up alongside his brother John McEnroe, competing on the professional tour, navigating failure, and eventually redefining success beyond wins, rankings, and trophies. Richard “Big Daddy” Salgado, CEO of Coastal Advisors, has spent decades building trusted relationships throughout professional sports, business, media, and entertainment. He opens up about the discipline and preparation behind lasting success and challenges the illusion that what we see on social media represents the work required to get there. Richard also shares the deeply personal story of surviving a life threatening brain aneurysm, how that experience transformed his perspective on life, and why giving back has become such an important part of his purpose. Together, Patrick, Richard, and Kevin explore what separates champions mentally, why failure is essential to growth, the importance of preparation and discipline, how relationships are built through trust, and why mental well being must matter just as much as physical performance. This conversation is about more than sports. It is about learning how to lose without losing yourself. It is about preparing when nobody is watching. It is about becoming comfortable with failure, eliminating distractions, surrounding yourself with the right people, and continuing to grow long after you have achieved what the world calls success. Most importantly, it asks a question Kevin asks every guest who enters the HINESIGHTS Podcast: How is your mental health today, really? If this conversation speaks to you, share this episode with someone you know, love, or care about.

Your story is not over. Hope is real. Help is available. Healing is possible. Be here tomorrow, and every day after that. You are loved. You are valued. You are worthy. You matter.
