Summary

Mark discusses why boys need real heroes. In a recent study polling young boys, when asked the question, “who is your hero?”, the most common response was “no one”. Mark shares lots from his book, The Making of a Man: A Guide to Raising Strong, Resilient Sons, to express the importance of having heroes, not just famous kind, but the ones in our communities and at home.
