The man is supposed to pay, right? Say’s who? With all this women’s independence how has this one rule stuck with us? What about ‪#‎chivalry‬ in general? Are men still aware of the power of doing such simple things as holding a door or pulling out a chair? This week the Dudes disrupt the thinking of what society says we should do as an automatic as it relates to modern ‪relationships‬ and chivalry.

As men, much of who we are, or who we think we are is informed by our relationship with the man who made us, our father.

How do you define success? This week the Dudes take a look at at what holds us back from being successful, at least in our own minds. Often fear is at play, but what is it that we are truly afraid of? Culturally we have success wired with how much money we make or what we have achieved or what we own. Too many times that chase of material things leaves us unsatisfied, still searching for fulfillment. It’s time to disrupt what the true measure of success should be.

Men have it hard. Society and history has dictated we need to be a certain way. We are taught from little boys to “tough it out” or to “man up”. Of course those ideas had a place in time and still do, but do they work for us as individuals? Being unstoppable is about getting clear on what you are committed to. Are you committed to being “right” about something or are you committed to being happy? Look at your life… Men, what are your commitments around money, women, relationships, success, family, and more.

With the rising cost of higher education heading into the hundreds of thousands, has college become a luxury for the privileged? Is it fair to have kids graduating with crushing amounts of debt and bleak prospects in the job market?

Much has been said lately about the rise of women both culturally and professionally. Women are more successful, independent, and driven than ever before in our history. Yet there is still a feeling that a glass ceiling remains, women are still paid less for the same jobs men do. Did you even know March is Women’s History Month?
