The School of Greatness by Lewis Howes: Interview with Jason Wilson

Defining Masculinity: Learn how old social stereotypes can hinder the true happiness of a man.

So many men are hurting, and then hurting others.

People don’t want to hear that.

But men feel like they’re emotional prisoners.

They are committing suicide at much higher rates. They are the ones performing mass shootings. They are reacting in violence.

We have to allow men ways to process their past and to express their emotions in order to become the people they are meant to be.

It’s not important to “be a man,” it’s important to be human.

On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about the definition of masculinity with a man whose mission is to mentor boys: Jason Wilson.

Detroit’s Jason Wilson is a husband and father of two, and the founder and head instructor of the Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy, also known as CATTA. In 2015, he received the Campaign for Black Male Achievement Innovation Accelerator Award. In 2016, Wilson received the President’s Volunteer Service Award in Washington D.C.Wilson has also been a guest on The Dr. Oz Show where he discussed his Emotional Stability Training® approach. In 2016, Wilson was a presenter at the White House for the My Brother’s Keeper Showcase presented by then-President Barack Obama.

What Jason is doing so needed in the world.

Like Frederick Douglass said, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
