6 Pack of Champion Virtues: How To Mentor The Next Generation

Send us Fan MailOn our fifth episode of the Six Pack Of Champion Virtues series we combine the last two virtues, How To Mentor The Next Generation & How To Make The World A Better Place. We look at the role older men play in equipping young boys with the right tools to help them navigate life and live in harmony with others. Looking into the state of masculinity, we discuss how demonizing traditional men has led to older men not sharing their story and experiences to the youth.  We also look the language around masculinity and point out how it can lead to negative stereotypes. We highlight the difference between teaching and making men. We end off our conversation by reminding men that in order for us to leave the world in a better state than we found it, we need to give more than we take and we need to find and live our purpose. My guest Craig Wilkinson is the Founder and CEO of Father A Nation which focuses on equipping men to be brave, fearless role models and fathers who use their strength to love, protect and stand against abuse. .Please don't forget to subscribe to gain access to all our podcasts.
