Loneliness is killing men — not always the kind you can see, but the kind that settles in when you realize the friendships you thought you had aren't actually there.
In this episode, we unpack the difference between isolation (forced on you) and seclusion (chosen as a tool for growth), and why both can shape — or break — a man. You'll hear a personal story about drifting from old friends, the checks we expect new friends to cash, and why defining what a "good friend" means to you is critical before you can find one.
We'll talk about making sharpening intentional — from the wisdom of iron sharpens iron to scheduling recurring check-in calls so months don't slip by unnoticed.
🎯 This episode will help you:
Recognize the difference between healthy seclusion and harmful isolation.
Identify the traits you value most in a friend — and live them yourself.
Take the first step in rebuilding connection without giving up your independence.
Your challenge this week:
Take inventory of the men who sharpen you. Decide if you're in isolation or seclusion. Then make one deliberate connection — and put it on the calendar.
