We're at McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

So a while back ago I got an email from an Art of Manliness reader, his name is Terim Gunter.

And he does a lot of mentoring for at-risk young men in the Oakland area.

We're talking young men in poverty, who are at risk for crime and the like.

And he was working on a book directed at these young men and he asked me to contribute something to it.

It's all about skills that a guy should learn that a lot of these young men weren't learning because they didn't have dads.

And that book came the man book and it's out right now.

We're going to talk about today.

But also on the podcast I talked to Dream about mentoring or being a mentor for young men.

And why it's so important, what you can do to become a mentor to other young men.

And why even if you're a grown man, your 30s, 40s or 50s should find mentors in your life to help you become your best self.

Also we talk about just this content in the man book, a lot of great stuff about becoming responsible, holding yourself accountable.

We talk about dealing with setbacks and failures, talk about a huge setback that Dream had while he was in college that shattered his dreams of professional baseball.

Really interesting podcast to the law great takeaways.

So without further ado, Dream Gunter and the man book.

All right, Dream Gunter, welcome to the show.

Thank you.

All right, so you have this book called The Man Book Out and you asked me to be a part of it, which I was really on and we're going to get to that.

We're going to talk about that in a little bit.

But before we get there, let's talk about what brought you to writing the book.

You have a really interesting background because you're a young guy.

How many of you are in your 30s?
