Everyone is talking about boys and young men right now.
Documentaries, headlines, and social media debates have pushed the topic into the spotlight but very little of that conversation is happening with boys themselves.
In this episode, Dave Callan (Authority life coach and mentor for high performers) sits down with Mike Nicholson, founder of Progressive Masculinities Ltd, who works directly in schools across the UK, helping boys explore identity, emotion, strength, and what it means to be a man today.
This is not a theoretical conversation.
This is what’s actually happening on the ground.
We explore:
– What boys are really experiencing right now
– Why certain online voices are resonating
– The role of schools, parents, and peers
– What healthy masculinity looks like in practice
Mike has also been invited to Downing Street to contribute to the national conversation around boys and young men, bringing real-world insight into a topic often dominated by opinion.
If you’re a parent, educator, or simply trying to understand what’s happening with young men today, this conversation matters.
