Gent's Talk

What is truly happening to young men online? They are struggling with insecurity and mental health issues, often drawn into content that offers a false sense of belonging. Learn from Jess VanderWier, a therapist who works with struggling boys, and Todd Minerson of Movember Canada, how algorithms exploit young men's desire to be "ripped and rich" by feeding them toxic views and pushing them into unsafe rabbit holes. This episode addresses the dangerous rise of performative masculine personalities, the downstream effects of porn addiction, and provides concrete advice for parents on how to have real, consistent conversations and become the dependable role models their sons desperately need.
