I really think about trying to model a kind of fierce masculinity that is the ferocity that we referred to earlier in Buddhism of the ferocity that says, yeah, I have panic attacks. And I can admit that to the world. I can talk to you, my son, about this. That hopefully normalizes it for you. So, yeah, to me, that's all part of raising a healthy boy slash man now. Anthony?

Well, uh, I think, I think it's totally fine not to watch adolescents. Um, and, Uh, I get it. It's incredibly stressful. It's also extraordinarily beautiful. Um, but the larger thing is what you said there at the end, Anthony, about breathing through what's going on, not only with, um, men and boys right now, but also in the whole world. This is a destabilizing time.

So I'll leave you with one little axiom that's very helpful for me. And I think I spoke about this a little bit with Scott on Pivot a couple of months ago. Action absorbs anxiety. I love that. It can feel so powerless to sit and watch adolescence or to watch the fucking news these days. For many of us, we feel totally powerless and helpless and then we get into a toilet vortex of anxiety.

You have more power than you think you can take action in your sphere locally. It doesn't even have to have anything to do with the issue you're worried about. You can just be marginally more helpful to the people in your environment. As I often say, like, what's it like when you hold the door open for somebody? If you're paying attention in that moment, it feels good.

That feeling is infinitely scalable. The world is filled with opportunities to be helpful.

Well, I graduated college in the middle of an ancient recession in 1993. And there were not that many jobs. And I kind of had the sense that I wanted to do something cool. I had gone to film school for a little while at NYU. That's cool.

yeah well that was pretty cool but I what was not so cool is that I was not very good at making films but I did take a documentary class that I really liked and then I started doing some internships in TV news and I thought it was really cool it wasn't as glamorous as I thought especially in local news where I started but after having done some internships I graduated from college and then I took a part-time job at a local news station in Bangor Maine and
