Young men are always under a lot of pressure to be “successful”. From getting that job to being forced to sacrifice your passions and study something else because it doesn’t fit into the picture perfect degree. To not knowing how to achieve their dreams. They have seen and are seeing it all. Starting from when they are about to leave high school or leave Uni or their early 20s.
