Male Roles, Obligations and Options for Building a Fulfilling Life | Scott Galloway

About this video

Huberman interviews Scott Galloway, a professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business, about male roles, obligations and options for building a fulfilling life. Galloway argues that progress in work, relationships and status requires anticipating and enduring many rejections — getting a ’no’ can itself be the goal of an approach. The conversation draws on data about what young and older men face in work, relationships and health, and Galloway offers daily actionable steps for making progress. The two also debate alcohol, big tech and social media, with Galloway arguing for common-sense regulation and age-gating of platforms for teenagers. They discuss male-female dynamics, divorce and single-parent homes, areas where they agree on some points and disagree on others.
