Episode 266: Former Muslim and Oxford PhD: The Only Way to Save Young Men

Joined by former Muslim, Oxford PhD recipient, and university founder, Dr. Jacob Imam, today we passionately discuss why the contempt for working with your hands is not just modern, but pagan. We explore how the current education system leaves men in a world that cannot tell them who they are or what they are for. We also get into how the idea that Catholicism has “gone soft” is a false rhetoric and how Islam offers a false sense of strength.  

From Andrew Tate, to converting from Islam, to what our young men need to be successful as a person in 2026, Jacob provides us with fuel and direction.
