In today’s episode, Tom sounds the alarm on the mounting challenges facing men as we approach 2025. With nearly 700,000 U.S. jobs lost in just five months, AI threatening half of all white-collar jobs, and severe downward corrections in the labor market, Tom lays out why men can’t afford to be complacent—or overwhelmed—right now. But this isn’t just about economics. He dives deep into the compounding crises of housing inaccessibility, rampant inflation, looming recession risk, and a silent epidemic of male loneliness, isolation, and disengagement. Tom pulls no punches outlining the economic realities, but this episode is far from defeatist. Instead, he offers a battle plan: from mastering AI, to investing in future-proof assets, to building your body, your mind, and your tribe, Tom breaks down strategies for reclaiming autonomy, meaning, and purpose—even in the face of unprecedented uncertainty. Whether you’re worried about job security, struggling to find your place in a transforming society, or just searching for momentum to finish the year strong, you’ll find hard truths and practical tactics to help you take charge of your own destiny. This isn’t just about surviving the current storm—it’s about becoming legendary. Stay tuned as Tom gives you the roadmap to make the next four months your most impactful yet.

0:00.0	In the first five months of 2025 alone, U.S. employers announced nearly 700,000 job cuts, an 80% spike from last year.
0:11.5	That's over 4,600 people losing their jobs every single day.
0:16.4	The Bureau of Labor Statistics just announced a massive downward correction of over 250,000

1:25.5	alarm bell and the game plan. We're going to map out the
1:29.1	problem and solution in four easy parts and do not skip part four. That one may be the most
