Hey everyone, Scott Galloway here at Scot Free August, which means we're continuing the Lost Boy series, the set of conversations we hosted with Anthony Scaramucci. The Mooch! Surprisingly well-read and insightful and thoughtful. I really have enjoyed developing a friendship with Anthony. Anyways, Anthony and I discussed the struggles facing young men today.

In this second episode, we're back with Richard Reeves to ask, why isn't anyone talking about this? We dig into the silence, the concerns many mothers are quietly raising, and why we need a positive path forward. Let's bust right into it. Welcome to Lost Boys, a podcast dedicated to shining a light on the unique challenges young men face today and an exploration about what we can do about it. In our last episode, Scott Galloway and I spoke with author and researcher Richard Reeves.

He wrote the seminal book about the challenges young men face today, called of Boys and Men. Last time we talked about how, by nearly every measure, young men are failing to thrive. They're doing worse in school. They're doing worse in relationships. They're doing worse in the workplace than ever before.
