あらすじ・解説
Is it possible to become the man you never had as a role model?Ryan Michler didn’t grow up with a blueprint for manhood—but that didn’t stop him from building one. He and Sanger talk about why so many men feel aimless and how stepping up—not faking it—is the way out. They talk about the appeal of distractions like sports and alcohol, the discomfort of starting from zero, and the kind of fulfillment that comes from actually doing hard things. KEY TOPICSWhy men substitute purpose with stats, screens, and manufactured intimacy.What happens when young men admire risk—and older men discourage it.How men get mocked both for not knowing—and for trying to learn.Why it’s better to take a first step than wait for certainty.
