<p>There’s a lot of debate these days about what it means to be a man. But maybe the answer is simpler than we think, and a lot of masculinity just comes down to confident competence. A broad set of know-how. The ability to get stuff done. The capacity to move through the world with purpose and skill.</p>
<p>As someone who’s lived several lives in one, Elliot Ackerman certainly embodies that ethos. He’s a decorated Marine, a former CIA paramilitary officer, a National Book Award-nominated novelist, and now the writer of <em><a href="https://www.thefp.com/w/elliot-ackerman">A Man Should Know</a>,</em> a column at The Free Press that explores the small but significant skills that shape a man’s life.</p>
<p>Today on the show, Elliot and I talk about why young men are struggling, how intention, discipline, and competence can change the way a man carries himself, and a few of the specific skills a man should know — from how to wear a watch to how to give a eulogy.</p>
