This was even more fun than I expected! Thanks @asymmetricinfo
So, what’s actually happening, who is struggling and how we can help them without the conversation being framed as men versus women?
@asymmetricinfo and @RichardvReeves discuss on the Reasonably Optimistic podcast: wapo.st/4v3Puto

I have a lot of hope and optimism about our young men. Navigating a changing world and conflicting messaging about how to be a man today is not an easy feat these days. But I think people are starting to move past the ideological traps society has placed on them.

I will be a guest tomorrow (Friday) on Airtalk on 89.3FM (for those in Socal) and Laist.com for the streaming feed. I think I'm kicking off the show at 9am...in studio in Pasadena. Topic? A bit nebulous. Producer told me to be ready to discuss masculine identity and its influences. Ready to push some buttons and trigger some nerves to end the week? Tune in to find out.
My friend, colleague and all around great guy Dr. Matt Englar Carlson will be a guest on Airtalk with Larry Mantle (89.3FM for those in SoCal and Laist.com for the live feed) 10am PST tomorrow, Wednesday. He will discussing issues around challenges young men face in the transition to college.

"This is not a partisan issue, everybody can recognise a society where so many of our boys and men are struggling is not good for anybody," Richard Reeves of The American Institute for Boys and Men tells #PoliticsLive

2 wks ago I had the privilege of delivering the keynote address to the Puente Project's Spring gathering to discuss the challenges boys and adolescents are facing. Puente is a superb program designed to improve college admissions. @menincollege @aibm_org
We had over 200 teachers from 40+ schools in attendance. The workshop that followed had some 80 additional participants. I was really heartened by the earnest response & clear desire to improve the recruitment of boys into the program. @menincollege @aibm_org
Beyond the great reception & engagement, I got to hear some great ideas from the people who, ultimately, are the ones that will make the difference on the ground, in the classrooms, in the schools where the work will happen. @menincollege @aibm_org
