thinking abt this all day. beyond their work, these 3 guys have all excelled in creating social proof, bolstering credentials and cultivating a scene that is grounding for younger men—particularly those who did not have a solid family foundation. all three of them also seized a nascent means of distribution (podcasts), an emergent form of “contrarian” thinking (“science and health are good, actually”) and more.

These guys are not just excelling in their work, but also in creating social proof and providing a grounding influence for younger men. Embracing podcasts and unconventional thinking, they are shaping a new narrative. Inspiring role models indeed.
