Hello and welcome to the latest episode of The Invisible Men.

My name is Ian Rowe, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute,

and also the founder of Vertex Partnership Academies, a virtues-based International Bacalaureate Public

Charter High School in the Soundview section of the Bronx. I'm Nikew Fasier, a member of the

leadership network at AEI and an adjunct professor at Rice Business School and the Washu Olin Business School.

Nike, always great to see you.

And as our viewers know, we love to feature amazing black men whose ideas are so powerful

and influential and should have more of a platform because it could really advance the

interest not only of the black community, but of all Americans, of how to lead self-determined

lives of meaning and purpose. And today we have as a guest, you know, certainly one of my heroes intellectually, as a person, as someone who's willing to accept and really embrace and tolerate ideas that he may not agree with, but really grapple with them, you know, and accept nuance and potentially

change his mind. And, uh, and we're speaking of the great, uh, Glenn Lowry, who is our guest

today for the invisible men. Glenn, great to see you. Thank you so much, Ian. I appreciate. I'm flattered.

Nike, very good to see you again. Good to be back with Invisible Men.

Yes, yes, it is true. Yes. Glenn was actually one of our first guests on the Invisible

when we first launched this, you know post George Floyd and the

world was going crazy and once again this narrative of the black man as an endangered species

was rife and and we had Glenn on and Glenn you shared some really powerful wisdom as you as

you will hear so thank you for thank thank you for coming back my pleasure yes and
