Summary

Welcome back for another thought-provoking conversation with Ryan Holiday, 10+ times bestselling author. We’ve had several guests debating both sides and considering, objectively, what is true and what best serves the current state of masculinity as we see it now through the lens of the red and blue pill communities. It’s been called toxic, it’s sparked fear, pride and arguments among men, women, and between the two sexes. Today, Ryan Holiday continues the incredible second part of our conversation digging into the uncomfortable yet necessary areas of what power and masculinity truly are and how social media influencers, YouTubers, and algorithms have clouded our vision of what power is, what is moral, and what should men be turning to and searching for if it’s not the Red and Blue pill communities. In the second part of this two-part episode, Ryan walks through the critical points that cannot be ignored if we are to move the narrative forward: *Gendered emotions doesn’t acknowledge men’s emotional outbursts *Stoics never cry’ and therefore neither should men is bullsh*t *What you need to know about yourself to not get red-pilled *The social media distortion that’s got you too dizzy to aim at anything If you’ve pondered “valid” points from the red or blue pill communities, how has it shaped your view of masculinity and what are you externally looking to for guidance on how to be a man that knows truth and power for himself? If you’re a woman in this space, how has this shaped the conversations with the men in your life?
