This episode I'm going to taking CLIPS from two different interviews that were posted to YouTube.

The first interview is with Scott Galloway and he was interviewed by the Diaries Of A CEO podcast. The title of the video is, "The Real Reason Why 90% Of Men Are Lost In Life". If I was assigning homework, which I'm not! I would recommend watching the whole video. It's only 20 minutes.

The second Interview is with Richard Reeves and he was interviewed by someone on the Amanpour and Company YouTube Channel. The title of the video is "Of Boys To Men:" Why the Modern Male Is Struggling. Richards entire interview is about 17 minutes and you should watch this one also. https://youtu.be/kLBHUC90UFg?si=TMPkDdtAO-Ob8kKj

The reason for sharing these insights and facts are so YOU might be able to understand in greater detail, "Why Are Men Struggling Today?" and it isn't just a YOU problem. Let me explain, I believe most men think their unique struggles/problems are theres alone and no one else has ever had similar personal challenges. This simply isn't true, it's one of the downfalls of living an emotionally stoic life passed down to us by the traditional male value system. Men default to stuffing everything and believe they are the only ones in emotional pain. For me, the more I shared about my own personal pain, the more I was told that I was far from unique and many other men shared similar battles.

One of the other challenges I faced was accepting that society has evolved and become more modern. What I didn't appreciate was no one ever informed of the changes once it happened. They just happened and society wasn't concerned at all about how I felt about any of them. The fact that I had to accept these changes without me sharing any of my feedback was unacceptable to me. But guess what? Society doesn't need my permission or any males permission to make changes they believe are in the best interest to the "Greater Good".

For me, this is where the rub is. Things just changed and it wasn't just a few things, it was a number of things. Having to deal with all of them at once made me overwhelmed and uncertain of the most appropriate way to respond. In hindsight, I accepted some of the new changes with very little resistance but the one's I didn't care for just made me ANGRY! I got angry because I didn't have the right tools or words to express myself and proceeded to isolated myself from the outside world while I played video games.

I believe a lot of men are dealing with all the new evolved and modern changes this way and I'm hoping together we can figure out a better to work through them and deal with our frustrations. This is another reason why I've started the private male only Discord server, so join us if you can ID with anything I've mentioned about.

So watch this podcast episode and let it soak in. Watch it a couple of times to let it settle in deeper. I know all of us will be much better off if we can create our own narrative and set up manageable and realistic personal boundaries for dynamics happening today men appreciate. Like anything else, it just takes practices. I'll see ya in there!

Keep smiling,
