Parenting Today: A Look at Masculine and Feminine Dynamics
Why are we telling little boys to be “less aggressive”? Why are we encouraging young women to “not need a man”? And how as a parent can you navigate through these shifting gender norms?
In today’s episode, Albert and I explore the dynamics of masculinity and femininity, particularly in the context of parenting. We discuss how societal expectations for boys to be less assertive and for young women to assume multiple roles, including provider and protector, are shaping childhood development and adult relationships. We delve into the implications of these shifting gender norms, including the rise in adult loneliness and the challenges of navigating less defined relationships.

Why You Don't Need a Personal Brand
These days, it feels like everyone's jumping on the "personal brand" bandwagon. But as an executive and business owner, should you really be following suit?
In today's episode, I sit down with Albert to discuss who should - and more importantly, who shouldn't - build a personal brand! We discuss:
Not a Universal Necessity: Personal branding isn't mandatory for everyone's success. Assess your content creation passion before diving in.
Passion and Commitment: Effective personal branding demands genuine enthusiasm and a significant investment of time and effort.
Authenticity is Key: Authentic engagement trumps outsourcing or imitation. Your personal brand should reflect your true self.
Evaluate the ROI: Before committing to personal branding, weigh the potential return against other business or career priorities.
What are your thoughts? Do you think building a personal brand is a necessity for today's business leaders? Let us know in the comments or by emailing info@mission.org!
