Some of the most popular influencers today are being hailed as guides and teachers for boys and men. They claim to understand the challenges that men are facing, and they say they have the solutions.

In this episode, host Mohamad Zaoud talks to Dr. Osman Umarji, the Director of Survey Research and Evaluation at Yaqeen.
