Vinny Brusco, founder of Agora Social Club, says the modern-day man is “lost” due to conforming to social norms and losing self-knowledge, and argues men need communities where they can be vulnerable, have meaningful conversations, and pursue health and wellness. He defines a healthier masculinity as controlled, stoic, and self-aware, contrasting it with negative cultural stereotypes and “bad actors” who exploit the term. 


The conversation covers fatherhood as a mirror for personal growth, routines like bedtime talks and prayer, and the pursuit of inner peace amid hustle culture. Vinny shares a major recommitment to Christian faith on December 5, 2025, describing “micro miracles,” surrender, and struggles with authority and belief. They also discuss sobriety, evolving prayer practices, and Vinny’s crowdfunding efforts for Agora.
