Masculinity: When Men Cry | ASK ME ANYTH...

Ryan Michler
About this episode

In this week's Ask Me Anything, Ryan and Kipp discuss the controversy surrounding the 2024 Olympics' opening ceremonies, using it to highlight the importance of focusing on positive content over disruptive provocations. They examine superficial public apologies, historical ignorance, and the promotion of communism.

On a personal level, they explore emotional complexities, such as balancing grief with parenthood, expressing masculinity, and setting life standards. They offer practical advice on guiding younger siblings towards maturity, shifting from a selfish mindset to one of service, and navigating divorce challenges. The episode provides a multifaceted dialogue on these issues.
