What happens when pride, silence, and unspoken expectations start running your friendships?

This episode is a raw, honest conversation about male friendships and why so many bonds fade without anyone ever saying why.

In this conversation, the guys unpack what healthy male friendships actually look like, how projecting your own values onto friends can quietly damage relationships, and why one-sided friendships are harder to address than we admit.

From cutting people off vs. giving grace, to learning how to truly show up for friends who are built differently, this episode is about accountability, growth, and giving your friendships everything before walking away.

Key moments:

00:00 – What defines a real friend

12:43 – “We’re all cut from a different cloth.”

16:23 – Why time doesn’t always heal friendships

22:25 – How to recognize a one-sided friendship

25:36 – Cut them off… or have the hard conversation?

30:08 – Giving friendships your all before giving up
