013: How Boys Can Transform Into Real Men with Dylan Roos

“We know what we're capable of, therefore, we suppress it. It's capable of so much bad and it's capable of as much good in the world. And we're robbing the world of that good by completely dismissing it.” -Dylan Roos

Boys are often taught that being a man is about being tough, taking charge, and never showing weakness. This idea is so deeply embedded in our culture that it's hard to even imagine that it could be wrong.

But this view of masculinity can be extremely damaging to boys who are being raised by parents who believe that "tough" is the only thing that matters in life. It's time for us to challenge this idea and discover the path to real manhood. It’s time we transform into real men—men who are strong, but also kind and compassionate.

This week, I got to sit down with Masculinity Coach and Mentor, Dylan Roos. Dylan’s mission is to help young boys transition to manhood through The Prince to King Method. Once a troubled young man, Dylan understood what it felt like to lose a sense of direction and to drown in overwhelming emotions. But Dylan also learned that being a man takes courage to embrace the discomfort that growth brings.

Listen in as we discuss the biggest drivers to our perception of masculinity, how we can heal our wounds as men, how comfort makes us sick, how to deal with isolation and loneliness in men, and how being vulnerable brings more benefit than we can imagine.
