Summary
In this episode, I sit down to discuss the critical challenges facing modern men and boys in an era of unlimited optionality and extreme insecurity. I encourage you to take your foot off the pedal as a parent and allow your children to face the "jungle" of real-world consequences. I also discuss why financial enabling is destroying the self-esteem of young adults and why true success is measured by peace of mind.
You’ll learn about:
The Danger of "Eighth-Place Trophies"
Why Your Kid is Not Your Friend
How to Use Sports to Teach Humility
The Importance of Dealing with "Sucky Authority"
Why Financial Independence is the Key to Self-Respect
