Middle school is a time like no other, as significant biological and emotional changes coincide with profound personal growth, says educator Jerome Hunter. The middle school for boys that he founded centers on a program that helps redefine masculinity through what he calls the three “Cs” — confidence, communication and community. He shares the growth he’s seen when boys are encouraged to explore their own empathy — and how it could lead to a more just world.

      ​@Chuck M. Weird reply. Why do you assume he doesn’t have a father?

      @Go-go 63 kids with father’s don’t need to be told stuff like this by videos on the internet.

      @Chuck M. depends on the father

    • Go-go 63

      March 23, 2023 at 5:23 pm

      @Chuck M. Hmmm. That too is a pretty general statement. Though I agree that it’s best to have a good stable home with a good father role model, many fathers (and mothers) can be the very cause of a child’s messed up sense of self.

    The government has really made things more difficult for its citizens and we can’t sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance. it’s obvious we are headed for hyperinflation, it is always the poor who take the hit.

    Not surprisingly, these would be good things for girls to learn as well.

    • Sibylle Leon

      March 21, 2023 at 10:43 am

      The confidence definitely would be. Girls that age are usually miles ahead of boys in terms of communication and community, though. They need different things – focus on values other than their looks, setting boundaries and standing up for themselves, and the like.

      Like it or not, our society treats girls and boys very differently, and so their deficiencies/needs differ, too.

    How about letting boys develop their own idea of masculinity instead of having it imposed by adults?

    • Enraged

      March 22, 2023 at 4:30 am

      How about we give kids every single book ever and let them develop their own thoughts?

    • Reem

      March 22, 2023 at 9:51 am

      That’s not how humans work. They’re going to get an idea of masculinity from somewhere, so it’s better to be a positive idea of masculinity rather than a negative and toxic one.

    • Reem

    This question, “What is masculinity,” has been asked and answered for 4,000 years. We need to ignore everything written in the last 10 years because it is filled with error – an outlier. Chivalry and similar concepts are the answer. If you knew more about history, you would not have had to try inventing the wheel.

    • Robert Ortiz-Wilson

      Exactly right. Narcissistic people believe that because they live in the “modern” world, they somehow have better, no, “correct” ideas.

The VC Backing the American Dream with Manan Mehta, Unshackled Ventures

Immigrant founders have built some of the world’s most valuable companies, but many still face barriers that make it harder to get a startup off the ground.

Immigrant founders have built some of the world’s most valuable companies, but many still face barriers that make it harder to get a startup off the ground. Visa restrictions, limited access to friends-and-family capital, shallow networks, and a venture industry built around pattern matching can keep promising founders from getting funded before they have a chance to prove themselves.

In this episode of Build Mode () , host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Manan Mehta, co-founder and managing partner of Unshackled Ventures, () to talk about why he believes immigrant founders represent one of venture capital’s biggest overlooked opportunities. Manan breaks down how Unshackled built an investment model designed to help founders navigate immigration barriers, why traditional VC pattern matching causes investors to miss potential outliers, and how his team evaluates founders at day zero—often before they have a product, customers, or traction. He also explains why the structural gaps that make some founders harder to fund may be exactly where investors should be looking for outsized returns.

They get into:

The four structural barriers immigrant founders face when starting companies in the U.S.

How Unshackled Ventures helps founders navigate visas while building their startups

Why VC’s reliance on pattern matching can cause investors to miss outlier founders

How Manan evaluates founders before they have a product, customers, or traction

The IQ, AQ, EQ, and SQ framework Unshackled uses to evaluate founder potential

Why resilience, lived experience, and a founder’s relationship to the problem can matter more than a polished pitch

Why structural gaps can create some of the biggest opportunities for investors

How founders without traditional networks can find alternative paths to early capital

Why founders should understand their personal “why” instead of trying to fit the traditional VC mold
