Because what he was describing \u2014 boys growing up without direction, without a male role model, without anyone to show them what their emotions mean \u2014 is exactly what I see every day in the men I work with. In this episode, I talk about why the role of the father has never been more important, what happens when young men are left to find their own way, and why the work we do on ourselves directly shapes the men our sons become. Inside this episode: \u2022Why growing up without a father figure creates a vacuum that toxic masculinity fills \u2022What I noticed about my son's friends who have no male role model at home \u2022Why I shared my therapy journey openly with my own kids \u2014 and how it changed our relationship \u2022The 15 minutes I spent teaching four young lads how to deadlift \u2014 and why it matters more than you think \u2022Why the school system is failing boys who are not academic \u2022How positive masculinity from men like us can counter the Andrew Tates of the world \u2022Why if we want to solve the male suicide crisis, we have to start with the boys \u2022The simple truth: to show up for your kids, you have to show up for yourself first If there is one episode I would ask you to share, it is this one.
