About Yusef 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.

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 family without a personal context is awe-inspiring! You probably 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 they have yet to meet formally. 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 escaped death multiple times and has two stories that he calls "conversion stories" that are instrumental in shaping the man, the father, and the leader he is today. Feel free to ask about them.

Yusef is 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 the advocacy and awareness of the needs of children in our community. We endeavor to teach financial and reading literacy, how to conduct oneself wisely and become an asset to our communities and not a liability, as well as partner with local organizations who share our desire to see our children grow healthy and strong, physically, mentally, emotionally, 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 and 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 around 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 even has content on gardening and how to plant and grow your own food.

Mista Yu's a licensed and ordained minister, so he can marry you and bury you too. LOL.
