No Country for Soft Men
by No Country for Soft Men
In the world we live in today, it's harder than ever to find direction as a young adult. For those young men who have recently graduated from high school or college, I (Andrew Parker), give one lesson per week on how to navigate this world as a man living in your 20s. From mental health to motivation and everything in between, I talk about a lesson that I have learned up to this point in my life and how I feel it can be beneficial to you. Right now as you figure things out, just try and get a little better each day. Small changes in the right direction build up over time.

As we have grown up we have lived with the fear of what our classmates thought about what we wore, said, and found interesting. As we go out into the real world we eventually realize (often too late) that as a young adult no one really cares about the things you do. Other people have too much on...
