You Need A Tribe

Manhood Tribes

In this episode of the Manhood Tribes show, we discuss the pervasive myth in our American culture that idealizes male figures as independent loners and its impact on our modern sense of community and friendship. We argue that contrary to popular belief, being an extraordinary man involves living in a tribe or a close-knit community rather than in isolation. We point out the increasing problem of loneliness among us and the lack of substantial male friendships, citing a survey that shows our dissatisfaction with our friendships.
The episode then explores the concept of a 'tribe' - a group of men dedicated to helping each other become the best versions of ourselves. We outline the benefits of having such a tribe, including staying on the right path, challenging personal growth, gaining freedom from negative habits, and adding fun and enjoyment to our lives. We also provide practical advice on how to start building these crucial male relationships by broadening our social circle through hobbies, church groups, and connecting with other parents. We encourage men to take the initiative in forming our tribes, stressing the importance of effort and time in cultivating these transformative friendships.
