Men Have Lost Initiation | FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

Men have lost initiation.

There was a time when boys were tested before becoming men. They faced hardship. They endured pain. They returned changed - recognized as men.

Today, that process is gone.

In this episode of Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler breaks down:

Why modern men feel lost
The three elements of ancient initiation
Why pain is necessary
How comfort culture is weakening men
Why nobody is coming to initiate you
How to initiate yourself

If you feel stuck, drifting, or chasing validation - this episode is for you.
