About This Episode
In today’s episode, you’ll hear about the real reason young men are quietly giving up and what to do about it. This episode will change the way you see the men in your life – and the way they see themselves. Today, bestselling author Jason Wilson is here to talk about what most men won’t say out loud — and what they need to hear. For the past 22 years, Jason has been mentoring boys and men at the Cave of Adullam — a martial arts based mentoring program that gives them permission to feel, room to heal, and the tools to lead. And what he shares in this conversation will move you. It will surprise you. And it will equip you with the tools and insights to help the men in your life grow. You’ll learn: - Why so many men are silently struggling — and the real reason they don’t talk about it. - How emotional suppression is destroying men’s peace, purpose, and relationships. - What boys actually need to grow into strong, emotionally healthy men. - How to support the men you love without judgment — and help them feel safe enough to open up. This is a masterclass in how to stop suffering in silence and start living with more peace, power, and purpose. For more resources, click here for the podcast episode page.
