“A lot of males die never really having become men.”

Why 63% of Young Men Have Stopped Trying

Scott Galloway doesn’t hold back about the crisis facing young men today. Four times more likely to die by suicide, three times more likely to be addicted or homeless, 12 times more likely to be incarcerated. While women’s ascent has been remarkable and necessary, society stopped asking what happens when an entire generation of men loses access to the traditional pathways that once helped them become providers, protectors, and partners. Scott challenges the comfortable narrative that young men just need to figure it out on their own. He shares raw truth about what actually motivates men to level up, from his own shame at not being able to afford a nurse for his dying mother to watching his students struggle to find any venue to demonstrate excellence beyond a dating app profile. This conversation will shift how you think about manhood, relationships, and what we owe the next generation.

  • Is there any data around the majority of women being able to earn more than men and still be attracted to them in a long-term romantic relationship?
  • Do you feel in some ways that women have been lied to around the need to be career driven and earn as much as possible and delay having kids?
  • What was your relationship like with your father and what was the biggest lesson he taught you that you still applied today?
