How would you define manhood?
Ask 10 people that simple question and you’ll get 10 different answers. Men today are confused about what it means to be manly.
Sadly, masculinity, which is a good and necessary thing, is under attack. But the world needs strong men to step up and be the leaders of their families, work places and communities. To set things right in a world filled with confusion, lies and naysayers.
In today’s episode coach Chris Wilson speaks with Order of Man’s Ryan Michler about the importance of men in society, defending our significance in the home, professional environment and in all relationships.
“You don’t need to say biological male, it’s redundant, a male is by its very definition biologically male…And I had people push back on that.”
