In this episode, Jesse and Chris dive into the essential question every man asks: "Do I have what it takes?" They explore rites of passage, looking at how boys transition into manhood, and reflect on how these pivotal moments shape us. From getting your first job to facing personal challenges, the conversation touches on the cultural significance of intentional initiation for boys. Jesse and Chris also discuss how modern life, shaped by the Industrial Revolution, has changed the father-son dynamic, making rites of passage more important than ever.
