Someone is teaching our boys what it means to be a man, and if parents are not paying attention, it may be the internet.

I’m joined by Alex Greaner, author of Who’s Raising Your Son?, for an honest conversation about the algorithms, influencers, and cultural messages shaping young men today.

We talk about Alex’s troubled teenage years, the question that changed his life, and why masculinity must be about more than providing and achieving.

We also explore character, purpose, emotional availability, social media limits, peer influence, and how parents can stay connected as their sons begin seeking greater independence.

Highlights:

(04:10) - The teenage struggles that shaped Alex’s work

(09:34) - The jail-cell question that changed everything

(17:02) - How one viral video became a bigger calling

(20:35) - Why men are more than providers, protectors, and leaders

(31:39) - What moms need to know when their sons go quiet

(49:52) - The advice Alex would give his 14-year-old self
