In this powerful episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with therapist, author, and founder of Rugged Counseling, Trey Tucker, to talk about the growing crisis facing young men today.
From the lack of strong father figures to the emotional struggles men carry silently, Trey shares why so many young men feel lost—and what we must do to change it.
Trey opens up about his journey from the corporate world to therapy, the inspiration behind his book Tough Enough, and why modern masculinity needs guidance, not shame.
Key Takeaways
-Many young men today feel lost because they lack strong male role models.
-Emotional control and self-awareness are critical skills for modern fathers.
-Internal “injuries” from the past shape how men react in the present.
-Strong families require both masculine and feminine leadership.
-Discipline and purpose help men build confidence and resilience.
-Mentorship and community can change the trajectory of a young man’s life.
