Strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times.

We’re in that cycle right now, and it’s a problem.

Look, there’s a lot of bad advice out there for men on the internet.

And it frustrates me because as a father of two boys and someone who runs the largest youth program for young men in my city…

I’ve seen the results of every kid being one caring adult away from becoming a success story.

And I was that kid.

One person stepped in when I needed it most and changed my whole trajectory.

I went from a troubled kid to a founder, a father, and a coach.

I know how critical the right guidance can be.

Now, I’m paying it forward.

In this video, I’m gonna share principles every young man needs to hear—even if they’re controversial.

These aren’t the “feel-good” or “easy” lessons you’ll typically see online.

But they’re critical to building a strong foundation for life.
