Only 23% of K-12 educators in America are male, a gender gap that has serious ramifications for male students - who often face DISPROPORTIONATE disciplinary action. This podcast is for male educators who want to embody a necessary change in schools, via healthy social-emotional outcomes. Come away with actionable lesson plans, relatable stories, and a renewed purpose. The US Surgeon General says the mental health of our youth is the "crisis of our time." Male educators are uniquely positioned to address this - because real men teach. Join our community: "Advocates for Young Men" at Skool.com

#45 | What I’ve learned from MAGA: Fighting back with positive male mentors

We police ourselves too much. And by "we" I'm referring to the progressive movement.

Those on the other side have built a large coalition by putting the conservative agenda above all, ignoring the warts and the ugly within the organization.

This approach has made me think about what's also limiting us when it comes to recruiting male mentors: We need to embrace our warts instead of being ashamed by them. Mistakes make us better mentors.

Topics include:

The weaknesses of the progressive movement and why they lose the messaging battle
What MAGA and people like Andrew Tate have figured out
Male mentors and their insecurities
