what this generation should know, ESPECIALLY MEN (ft. my dad)

This week, my dad joins me on the podcast for a very candid conversation about the mindset and priorities this generation might be missing. We especially zoom in on how many men are falling behind and not taking initiative in their lives. We lay out how they can and should make changes to become successful and continue strengthening the future of our society, because it's relying on them just as much as it is on women, and they can't afford to fall behind now.

We dive into why time is your most valuable and irredeemable asset, why taking risks early in life matters, and how exposure through books, real conversations, and travel builds perspective.

Next, we move into relationships and why who you choose as your partner is the single most important decision of your life. We also share a framework for finding "the one" using an acronym of a word that describes a certain male reproductive part, but you'll have to listen to find out what it is. And fortunately (or unfortunately), yes, I actually use this very inappropriate term to navigate dating, but it is extremely helpful and, if I'm being honest, pretty hard to forget.

After briefly sharing what women need to hear in this generation, we focus on men and my dad's perspective on what many young men need to hear right now: that they need mentorship, drive, and accountability to take responsibility for their lives. This is because together strong men and strong women build strong societies and we need both to do their part.

We wrap up by talking about freeing your mind from "absolutes" in life, and replacing "I can't" with "why not," and learning how to write your script even when things feel unpredictable.

I never imagined I would be able to create an episode with my dad that so perfectly captures and details so many of the life lessons he has engrained in me since birth. I credit my mentality, successes, and passion in life primarily to him and I am so proud to call him my father. I hope you find many takeaways from this empowering conversation. ENJOY
