In this episode, Lawrence and Male-Rose open the show discussing John Witherspoon. The two then start talking about relationships and dating questions, which leads them into their topic of manhood. There are different levels of masculinity, different integrations of manhood, and various things men still want to improve on. So, what is manhood? Manhood is protecting yourself and your family. Plus, there is a massive conversation around sexuality. Back in the day, if you were homosexual, then that meant you were less of a man. It’s all about how we approach manhood - everyone is looking at manhood from their perspective; we don’t need to choose a side. The physical part of manhood is the most natural part to lean on. 80% of the United States can’t protect themselves; it’s the reason why guns are everywhere. There are a lot of mistakes that can be made when finding manhood. These include overstepping boundaries and saying the wrong thing. Things that were okay to say for the past ten years are now forbidden. To find your manhood, it’s essential to seek feedback. Resentment can also be a fatal manhood mistake, especially when it comes to women. Later, Lawrence and Male-Rose speak about sex vs. pleasure and how to be the man you set out to be.

"Education"

Is it time to rethink how we educate our children?
In this episode, Lawrence and Male-Rose open the show discussing feeling vulnerable while fighting. The conversation then turns to school and education. When do you make the decision to trust people with your children? Most parents start trusting people with daycare or a nanny. Then, you can start thinking about early education programs. What is valuable for your child? There is a small business for everything. Do your due diligence and figure out what you want from it.
Every year, teachers complain about their working environment. There are options out there for teachers to make their own working environments. Everyone wants the best for their children - you can find loads of private options. There’s a clear difference between children who went to early education programs vs. the children who did not go to early education programs. Homeschooling is also an option – there is a certain way black children are treated; homeschooling is a way to avoid that. Stay tuned as Lawrence and Male-Rose speak about their educations and the difference between education and schooling.
