The question that 90% of men ask themselves is, Who Am I? What's my purpose? Why is life so complicated? Today's men are generationally programmed to be emotionally dysfunctional. No matter your profession or financial backing, the foundation to which you stand on is simply your manhood. The world says "Show no emotions man, fight back man, hold your head up man," and by doing so now you're a man. What happens after you realize that the manhood you identify yourself as has to lead you astray. So many of our young men embrace society's version of manhood or one adopted from their environment. It's hard modeling your very existence of being a man when you weren't exposed to any positive men or the proper life models. Author Gerald L Davis Jr, speaks on his life experiences. As a writer, podcaster, philanthropists, and advocate for all things positive, he was once that man. That man being misled by his peers, grabbing onto anything that gave him a reason, or validity. Although he never joined a gang, he was in close affiliation with known gang members, and almost succumbed to a life of drugs and crime. Life has a way of showing you your purpose, and it will take you down the long road of hardship, pain, struggle, and failure just so you can detour others on their path to finding self. He's a proud father of 5 beautiful kids, so living by example is the main purpose for him now. "Tell the world what you will do, but first show it"

Frank Kearns was the go-to guy at CBS News for dangerous stories in Africa and the Middle East in the 1950s, ‘60s, and early ‘70s. By his own account, he was nearly killed 114 times. He took stories that nobody else wanted to cover and was challenged to get them on the air when nobody cared about this part of the world. But his stories were warning shots for conflicts that play out in the headlines today.In 1957, Senator John Kennedy described America’s view of the Algerian war for independence as the Eisenhower Administration’s “head in the sand policy.” So CBS News decided to find out what was really happening there and to determine where Algeria’s war for independence fit into the game plan for the Cold War. They sent Frank Kearns to find out.Kearns took with him cameraman Yousef (“Joe”) Masraff and 400 pounds of gear, some of which they shed, and hiked with FLN escorts from Tunisia, across a wide “no-man’s land,” and into the Aures Mountains of eastern Algeria, where the war was bloodiest. They carried no passports or visas. They dressed as Algerians. They refused to bear weapons. And they knew that if captured, they would be executed and left in unmarked graves. But their job as journalists was to seek the truth whatever it might turn out to be.This is Frank Kearns’s diary.
