On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Dr. Helen Smith—psychologist, bestselling author of Men on Strike, and author of the new book His Side: Men Speak Out on Dating, Marriage, and Life in America.

Drawing on years of research and firsthand interviews, Dr. Smith explains why so many men feel overlooked, disrespected, and disconnected in modern society. She discusses the changing dynamics of dating and marriage, the importance of fathers, how boys are navigating today's culture, and why she believes listening to men's experiences has become more important than ever.

Karol and Dr. Smith also explore the impact of social media, education, workplace culture, and public policy on young men, while offering practical advice for parents raising sons in today's world. The conversation concludes with a discussion about empathy, family, and why meaningful dialogue between men and women is essential for a healthier society.
