In this conversation, we dive into the quiet crisis many Gen-X men carry but rarely talk about. This is the difficulty of maintaining old friendships and challenges that come with forming new ones. We explore how careers, family responsibilities, emotional conditioning from our upbringing, and the pressure to "be strong" have shaped the way men connect (or don't). With honest reflections, real-life stories, and a few laughs along the way, this episode invites listeners to rethink what male friendship can look like at 40, 50, and beyond. It's a heartfelt look at brotherhood, vulnerability and the importance of being intentional about friendship.
