Rethinking Masculinity: Connection, Purpose, and Being Human

In this live conversation at 92NY, Ben Stiller and Scott Galloway explore modern masculinity—friendship, fatherhood, work, and what it means to build a meaningful life.

They discuss why so many men today feel lost. How social media, shifting norms, and economic pressures are changing what it means to “be a man.” And importantly, how connection, mentorship, and honesty can change that story.

What You Can Take Away

If you are a man, or love one:

• Share this talk and open a conversation.
  
• Ask: What parts of this feel familiar? What needs to change?
  
• Remember that being strong and being soft can coexist.
  

Social wellness thrives when men are allowed to be full humans, not just roles.
