Why is masculine energy the topic on everyone’s mind? Andrew Tate’s relentless chatter about manhood has sparked controversy, while even figures like Mark Zuckerberg are calling for more masculinity in the business world.

He shares how men can embrace authentic masculinity by becoming dependable providers, rejecting womanizing, and committing fully to their families. Nick also explains where influencers like Tate go wrong and lays out a better roadmap for young men to follow. Plus, we dive into a surprising pro-life vote in Virginia and its significance for the broader movement. Tune in for this must-hear conversation!
