Michael sits down with Scott Galloway—NYU professor, bestselling author, and cohost of 'Pivot'—to discuss his new book "Notes on Being a Man." They dig into the data on boys and young men, why real-world connection beats screen time, the value of mentors and friendships, learning to dance (fearlessly), alcohol’s role in bonding, and how porn rewires expectations. A candid, practical conversation about helping young men thrive—and why women benefit when men get back on track. Original air date 6 November 2025. The book was published on 4 November 2025.
