In this powerful episode of The Man Space Podcast, Russ continues the Russ & Company series with a critical conversation every man needs to hear.
We’re joined by Dr. Arthur Burnett, a globally recognized urologist, educator, researcher, and the first Black professor of urology at Johns Hopkins University. With more than 40 years of experience, Dr. Burnett has helped shape modern men’s health—pioneering nerve-sparing prostate surgery, advancing nitric oxide research that paved the way for treatments like Viagra, and mentoring physicians around the world.
This episode tackles the tough but necessary topics men often avoid, including:
Why men—especially Black men—must take prostate health seriously
What PSA levels are, why they matter, and when you should get tested
The truth about prostate cancer risk, early screening, and family history
How late diagnosis impacts sexual function and quality of life
Erectile dysfunction, nitric oxide, blood flow, and overall vascular health
Why men stay silent about sexual health—and how that silence hurts us
Representation in medicine and why Black doctors matter
Manhood, responsibility, purpose, and redefining what it means to be a “good man”
Dr. Burnett also shares his personal journey from military service to medical leadership, his global humanitarian work through Uro Missions, and his vision for educating men to take ownership of their health—body, mind, and character.
This is more than a health conversation.It’s a call to action.
🎧 Listen. Learn. Get checked. Be a better man.
