Why Young Men Are Falling for Fake Masculinity | Aaron Prager

Aaron Prager joins this NEW episode of Real Talk to discuss the crisis facing young men, the rise of figures like Andrew and Tristan Tate, and why fake masculinity often disguises victimhood as personal responsibility. Drawing from his own journey through addiction and recovery, Aaron explains why real growth requires accountability, struggle, faith, ambition, and the refusal to blame others for your problems. We also discuss why young men are drawn to online communities that offer shortcuts and what parents can do to raise sons who are strong, responsible, and hopeful.
