What does "toxic masculinity" really mean?

In this powerful episode, Sam Conniff dives deep into the crisis of modern masculinity, exploring how society has shaped a generation of men caught between weakness and toxicity.

Sam shares his growing concern for younger men, especially after experiencing Andrew Tate’s controversial online course first hand. With Tate’s influence surging, amplified by the recent Netflix hit Adolescence, a show that exposes the dark side of online radicalization, Sam questions how these messages are shaping vulnerable minds.

Drawing from personal insight and time spent researching the topic, Sam reveals why we’re failing men and offers a bold roadmap to fix it, redefining strength, purpose, and connection for the next generation. _______________
