It began in the most ordinary of places.
A sauna inside a North London gym.
Steam drifted through the air.
The sound of water on hot stone.
Two men sat there. Strangers then.
Both carrying the quiet weight of burnout.
Bruno was talking to someone about the mind, the body, and technology.
He spoke about mental health, DeFi, blockchain, and artificial intelligence.
He was trying to explain how the systems we build in the world mirror the systems we build inside ourselves.
The man he spoke to drifted off.
But someone else was listening.
Brian heard the honesty in the words.
He heard the truth that comes from lived experience.
He did not interrupt. He just listened.
Yet Brian had little experience with creating any media, no production skills, no idea what specifically he wanted to do, nor any idea how a podcast was made or put into the world.
Later, in the changing room, Brian walked over and said quietly,
“Brother, I am thinking of starting a podcast.
Would you host it with me?”
Bruno smiled, almost disbelieving.
For two years he had been searching for the right partner.
Someone who cared about purpose before promotion.
Service before spotlight.
Heart before ego.
That simple question felt like destiny.
Two men on different roads, suddenly walking the same path.
They met again a few days later for coffee.
Talk became plans.
Plans became a mission.
They wanted to build something that blended truth and science, emotion and story, intellect and humanity.
Brian is the heart of B² = P and and Bruno is the head of B² = P and together we are creating the movement.
They both had something to say, and they were both passionate about saying it!
They named it:
“B SQUARED EQUALS P”
Two forces multiplied, not divided.
Breakdown multiplied by Breakthrough equals Passion.
They started recording in a small home studio.
Borrowed microphones.
Late nights.
Raw honesty.
A promise to keep everything real.
Soon they moved to NoStars Studios in Wood Green, into the Podcast Pro Room.
A professional space built for sound, light, and presence.
They chose it for one reason.
“To Give Listeners
The Quality They Deserve”
They had struggled, so they wanted to offer clarity.
They had broken, so they wanted to offer healing.
They wanted every person who pressed play to feel safe, seen, and understood.
Brian was the man behind the mask.
The one who smiled through heartbreak.
He had lost his best friend of over forty years.
Lloyd was more like a brother.
The silence that followed almost swallowed him whole.
Bruno was the man behind the system.
The one who tried to fix life the way he fixed code.
Until his body crashed.
Blood clots.
Hospital rooms.
Morphine nights.
A recovery that began with a Zimmer frame.
He had to learn to walk again.
He had to learn to feel again.
Two different stories.
One shared truth.
“Silence Almost Destroyed Us
SPEAKING SAVED US”
The question that started everything still echoes through every studio wall.
“DO MEN TALK?”
At first it was a whisper.
Now it is an answer.
“MEN ARE TALKING.
HERE. INSIDE THIS TRIBE”
From Men Break in Silence to The Self Scan Revolution.
From Why We Burn Out to Healing Through Action.
Each episode is a piece of the original promise.
This is only the beginning.
The first series holds eleven episodes.
A foundation for the next hundred.
Each one exploring a different type of intelligence.
Emotional. Physical. Creative. Social. Digital. Spiritual.
Every formula, every guest, every story is another recovery code.
Beyond the microphone lies the future.
Live events.
Special editions.
A book.
Street conversations.
And a global tribe ready to break their personal silence.
Because B Squared Equals P is not just a podcast.
It is a movement.
It is a tribe.
A mirror.
A lifeline for everyone.
It exists because two strangers listened.
Really listened.
At a moment when the world had gone quiet.
And from that silence they built something unbreakable.
“When Men Talk, The Silence Breaks”
“When They Feel, They Begin To Heal”
“When They Heal, They Find Their Passion, Their Purpose, And Their Power”
And at its heart, one promise remains.
“Where Real Men Begin
To Heal And Rise”
With Love and Gratitude
How Brian and Bruno Met.
The Moment That Sparked
B Squared Equals P
Podcast & Movement
Why Your Donation to B² = P Matters!
Stories don't just connect us, they transform us.Yours included!
At B² = P we’re not just creating a podcast. We’re building a lifeline. A space where men who’ve spent their lives pretending they’re okay can finally breathe, speak, and begin to heal.
Your donation, no matter the size, helps us reach the men who’ve been suffering in silence for too long. The ones behind the mask. Behind the perfect system. The ones quietly breaking inside.
We’re here to walk with them, and with you - through the fire, through the fog, and toward something real. Every episode is built from a deep mission: to offer stories, science, and strategies that spark transformation. To remind people they’re not alone. To replace shame with strength, and silence with truth.
Your support funds studio time, mental health expert collaborations, outreach to vulnerable communities, and the creation of tools that turn listening into action.
Whether it’s £10 or £100, your gift fuels this movement, a movement that starts in the UK, and grows wherever men are ready to turn pain into purpose.
This isn’t charity. It’s change.
Let’s build it together.
Our Mission in Men’s Mental Health, Well-Being & Men`s Wellness
About B² = P - From Breakdown to Breakthrough
Driven by Passion
B² = P is more than a podcast - it’s a lifeline for men.
A formula for transformation, created for those living two lives:
the one the world sees - capable, controlled, high-functioning…
and the one hidden in silence, quietly breaking beneath the surface.
We exist to break the silence around Men’s Mental Health , Men`s Mental Well-Being and Men`s Wellness.
We speak openly, not from theory, but from lived experience - burnout that steals your energy, breakdowns you hide from the world, silent grief, panic attacks behind closed doors, and the heavy ache of feeling like you’re the only one carrying it.
You’re not alone. And you’re not beyond repair.
Through raw, honest stories, grounded science, and proven strategies, we walk with you — guiding you from breakdown to breakthrough - using the B² = P formula:
Breakdown × Breakthrough = Passion
Brain × Body = Presence
Bravery × Boundaries = Power
Behavior × Belief = Purpose
Burnout × Breath = Prevention
Here, you’ll find practical tools rooted in psychology, neuroscience, and lived truth.
You’ll hear from experts, connect with a community that understands, and use our prompts to explore the thoughts you’ve never put into words.
Because real healing begins when men stop hiding.
And transformation starts the moment you feel safe enough to speak, feel, and be seen.
If you’ve lost your spark - we’ll walk with you.
If you can’t walk - we’ll carry you.
This is your tribe.
Your path back to strength, purpose, and presence.
A place where silence breaks and authentic manhood begins -
not in isolation, but in connection.
Together, we’ll speak what was once unspeakable…
and reclaim what was never truly lost.
B² = P is not just our names - it’s our commitment:
From Breakdown to Breakthrough, Driven by Passion.
Let’s begin.
