What skills and knowledge sets does a man need to have in order to be effective and self-reliant? My guest has spent the past few years thinking about this topic and putting down his ideas in a series of books he calls Modules for Manhood<\/em>. His name is Kenneth W. Royce. I had Kenneth on the show a few years ago<\/a> to talk about the first volume in the series. Today on the show, we take a look at Modules for Manhood: Volume 2<\/em><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

We begin by discussing what it means \u201cto cope with the world\u201d and why many young men today aren\u2019t equipped to do so. Kenneth then shares some strategies on how you can find the time and money to learn new skills. Next we dig into some of the specific skills he highlights in his book, including how to teach, managing your time, and how to become a leader by learning to be a good follower. We end our conversation talking about problem solving and why every man should get his pilot\u2019s license. <\/span><\/p>\n
