Michael sits down with Tom Bresnahan to tackle the growing challenges facing young men in today's society. They talk about the hidden crisis of Gen Z boys, exploring how technology, lack of purpose, and absence of strong role models are creating a generation of young men struggling to find their way. Tom draws from his years of experience working with young men and their families, offering real insights on the deep impact parents have and the ways they can either support or hinder their sons' growth. They confront the hard truths of isolation, substance use, and the role of mentorship, emphasizing that parents play a pivotal role in equipping their sons to face life’s challenges instead of escaping them. Michael and Tom leave you with a powerful call to rethink what it means to raise resilient, engaged young men in a world that often sidelines them.
