Yusef "Mista Yu" Marshall

Yusef Marshall (Mista Yu) was born in Brooklyn, NY and has multiple degrees in Business Admin and Mgmt as well as degrees in Computer Programming, Certified Business Coaching, and Culinary Arts.

He is a podcaster and interviewer, ordained minister and mentor, best-selling author (co-authored the 2nd Ed of "Born To Risk"), public speaker, and high-performance coach.

Mista Yu has also authored his first and only published book, "The Heart of the Stepfather," in 2016. His story on blended families and the challenges of building a family without a personal context is awe-inspiring! You won't be able to find the book these days, though.

Mista Yu's career has been centered around serving others and attempting to make the world around him better. He has worked for a decade in the food service industry as a Chef in the LowCountry kitchens, serving in the State Government as a Passport associate and Department Supervisor, as well as currently serving as a Licensed and Ordained Minister, teaching leadership development, biblical principles, and community service.

Mista Yu and his wife have three grown daughters, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. He believes that strong families create strong communities and strong communities create strong cities and states, and strong cities and states create strong nations and a strong world.

Mista Yu has escaped death multiple times and has two stories that he calls "conversion stories," which are instrumental in shaping the man, father, and leader he is today. Feel free to ask about them.

Yusef is also the founder of Mirror Time Media, LLC, and the "They Call Me Mista Yu" podcast/media brand, as well as the Co-Founder of a non-profit organization, Save The Children SC, dedicated to advocating for and raising awareness about the needs of children in our community. We endeavor to teach financial and reading literacy, as well as how to conduct oneself wisely, becoming an asset to our communities rather than a liability. We also partner with local organizations that share our desire to see our children grow healthy and strong, both physically and spiritually.

They Call Me Mista Yu is a podcast brand with four shows currently airing (live and recorded):

Inspiration Station - Teaching and encouragement with a personal touch, taken from the challenging stories Mista Yu has overcome, as well as current topics and issues in our time that are relevant to every listener. The goal is to be "Your Weekly Mirror Check before you change your world". This is where Mista Yu is most transparent and where he shoots the straightest!

One On One with Mista Yu - our flagship interview show, where Mista Yu interviews everyone from former CEOs to former and current athletes to Mompreneurs to best-selling authors. If there is a compelling story that resonates with his viewers, Mista Yu is ready to have that conversation.

The Men's Roundtable Series Podcast - every month, men from around the country and the world discuss issues that impact men in every area of their lives. It's a safe space for support and solutions!

Big Blue Lifers Podcast - where Mista Yu gets to discuss his childhood team, the New York Giants, and all things football. This is where he is reminded most of his hometown of NYC and the good things about his city, along with a deep love and appreciation for competitive sports and the connections he has made through those experiences.

The TCMMY brand is dedicated to being the All-Purpose Pod for an All-Purpose Life. Our YouTube channel also features content on gardening, including how to plant and grow your own food.
