Nearly 80% of men over 35 don't have a single close male friend, and the isolation that follows is costing them more than they know. In this episode, Andrew sits down with Thomas McMinn, the founder of Dadhood, a movement built to provide fathers with that missing ingredient: a genuine brotherhood, and explore why male friendships fade, why fear of rejection keeps men from reaching out, and how shared activities can open the door to real connection. Brotherhood isn't a luxury for a dad, it's a necessity.
