November 28, 2025 Why Scott Galloway Wants Us To Celebrate Masculinity, Not Diminish It | On With Kara Swisher
Pivot is off for the holiday, but we’ve got a special treat — an extra helping of Kara and Scott!
Kara recently sat down with Scott to talk about his new book, "Notes on Being a Man," for an episode of On With Kara Swisher. In their conversation, Scott discusses how the Trump campaign won over young men with a regressive version of masculinity, why he thinks we should re-embrace young men’s horniness, and why more men need to step up as mentors. He also opens up about his complicated relationship with his late father — and how he’s working to be a better father to his own sons.
