About this episode
Scott Galloway is a serial entrepreneur, NYU Stern professor, and best-selling author known for his candid takes on business, masculinity, and modern leadership. Raised by a single immigrant mother, Scott Galloway built and sold companies worth hundreds of millions and has dedicated his career to unpacking the realities of success and manhood in today's society. His latest book, "Notes on Being a Man," challenges conventional wisdom while offering a blueprint for personal growth, fatherhood, and meaningful dialogue about what it means to be a man. Key Takeaways: The crisis of masculinity today isn't just about men feeling lost— it's reflected in statistics surrounding addiction, homelessness, suicide, and economic viability. Empathy and honest conversations are needed to help young men find purpose and direction. Social isolation and lack of social capital are major issues facing young men, fueled by screen- addiction and technology that keeps them disengaged from real relationships and experiences. True parental impact comes from presence— whatScott Galloway calls "garbage time"—consistent, non-scripted moments where children feel valued and loved. Hard conversations and genuine involvement from male role models are essential for building resilient, confident adults. Sound Bites: "If you walk into a morgue and there's five people who've died by suicide, four of them are men." "Young men age 20 to 30 are now spending less time outside than prison inmates." "Garbage time, having the tough conversations and always ensuring that every day they know... that's the thing, it's most important to me in my life is seeing them and talking to them."
