Description

Scott Galloway is a professor of marketing at New York University's Stern School of Business. We discuss masculine roles and obligations of past, present and future. We explore which are timeless and which are changing, and positive steps boys and men can take to create meaning and stability in their lives. We cover work, finances, health and relationships to build a grounded, purposeful life. We also discuss tech, social media, alcohol, cannabis and porn. Throughout, we emphasize specific daily practices for building mental, physical and economic resilience, compassion for others, and for navigating key life decisions in every realm.

Been an avid listener for years. This is the first time I’ve been driven to comment. As a woman I really appreciate this episode. It makes me so grateful for my husband because, by every measure Scott gives, he is a man. I would love to know both Scott’s and Andrew’s thoughts on how women can support men more, take accountability for ourselves that you say is taboo to discuss, and help bridge that alliance.

I'm loving this episode and I didn't expect to. To be honest, as a woman, I thought it wouldn't be for me...I was so wrong. It's a fascinating insight into the male mind. Bravo both.

Wow. I have been listening to this podcast since the beginning, and this episide is possibly the most illuminating, incisive, nuanced, and enjoyable one yet. Scott articulates practical solutions to some of the most significant social and economic probelms facing young people in such a straightforward manner. I wish him or someone like him were at the helm of policy-making. Anyway, thank you both.

I'm a single mom raising a boy, and I want to thank Scott as a mother parenting her son for the first time. I'm reading your book to better understand my son and to be a help to him. Your work means so much to me and my son. Thank you!
