Young Men Are 12 Times More Likely to End Up in Prison | Scott Galloway

About this episode

Scott Galloway doesn't hold back about the crisis facing young men today. Four times more likely to die by suicide, three times more likely to be addicted or homeless, 12 times more likely to be incarcerated. While women's ascent has been remarkable and necessary, society stopped asking what happens when an entire generation of men loses access to the traditional pathways that once helped them become providers, protectors, and partners. Scott challenges the comfortable narrative that young men just need to figure it out on their own. He shares raw truth about what actually motivates men to level up, from his own shame at not being able to afford a nurse for his dying mother to watching his students struggle to find any venue to demonstrate excellence beyond a dating app profile. This conversation will shift how you think about manhood, relationships, and what we owe the next generation.

Scott’s books:

In this episode you will:

  • Discover why men benefit four to seven years more from romantic relationships than women do and what this means for building a thriving society
  • Understand the concept of surplus value and how becoming a man means generating more than you absorb economically, emotionally, and relationally
  • Break through the myth that professional success alone creates fulfilling relationships and learn the three qualities women actually seek in partners
  • Transform your approach to relationships by putting away the scorecard and deciding what kind of person you want to be regardless of what others give back
  • Master the hidden crisis facing young men as big tech monetizes loneliness and sequesters an entire generation from real-world connections and skills
