From A Boy To A Man: Is A Ritualistic Ceremony Or Rite Of Passage Required To Become A Man?

A lot of this discussion was based on an episode of 'The Art of Manliness' with Jon Tyson.

In Episode #308 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: whether tribal and extreme rituals are necessary to enter manhood, why forcing your child to do these things could backfire, moments in our lives that distinguished us, whether it actually is necessary to have a rite of passage and qualities that distinguish a man.

A huge thanks to the many boosters from this week, which was our most ever! Petar the Slav, Jake Hider (The SLIEK Podcast), Dave Jones, BooBury (Behind The Sch3m3s), Floydianslips & Signs Of New Growth. 

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
