When I served in the Marines, my division commander in Iraq was General Mad Dog Mattis.

And he famously told the 1st Marine Division that our motto was, no better friend, no worse enemy.

And I think a man should understand how to be gentle, how to be kind, how to be open-minded, but should also know how to be strong and how to be tough and single-minded when the moment calls for it and be able to toggle between those two with utter control.

So this series doesn't necessarily go into the deeper philosophy, but it really kind of focuses on just sort of specifics, little ways to be intentional as a man with how you act

exist in the world and present yourself in the world.

So some of the columns we have coming up or, you know, just how to wear a tuxedo, you know, who's going to teach you?

A lot of people just don't know how to do that.

And if the first time you get invited to a black tie event, it's the first time you have to figure out how to put on a tuxedo, maybe that's going to be a little bit awkward for you.

So these are just little things, stuff that people taught me that I hope to pass on, not only to my sons, but to just pass on in general to anyone who wants this knowledge, because I think it's worth holding on.

Great to be on.

Thanks, Megan.
