Episode Details

Former Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl joins me on this NEW Real Talk episode to discuss the crisis facing young men in America and what it will take to rebuild strong character, leadership, and purpose. Coach Pearl explains why mentorship, faith, and accountability are an inoculation against hate and negativity, and how sports can teach discipline, resilience, and personal responsibility in a culture defined by victimhood. Pearl also makes the case that the American Dream is still alive for those willing to work for it.
