Steve Preston is the CEO of Goodwill Industries. Though Goodwill is known for big stores where people can donate clothes and buy them secondhand, those stores are just the first level of what Goodwill Industries are about. Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

And The Boys needs The Left! We talk about young men and the left. I try to share some of the reasons that more young men need to reject liberalism and conservatism, to embrace leftism. I also talk about some of the reasons men feel more at home with the conservative movement. Masculinity means showing up for others!…
