Why 63% of Young Men Have Stopped Trying | Scott Galloway
The School of Greatness
Motivations that made Scott step up
Scott shares his mother's illness and need for income as catalysts for his economic ambition.
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.
