Episode 3.13: The Friend Connection with J Stamatelos

Will you be my friend? It’s a vulnerable question to ask. And if you’re a man, it might even feel like an impossible one.

Have you considered the importance of friendships in your life? Not just any friendships, but those deep, meaningful connections that shape who we are?

I count myself as a very lucky man, for my world today is filled with deep and satisfying friendships. It wasn’t always this way. For most of my life, I had only one or two very close friends. I recognize now what a loss it was to spend all those years without connections.

In this episode, I sit down with my frequent guest—and very good friend—J Stamatelos to explore the world of adult male friendships. We delve into why these relationships are so crucial for our mental and physical health, and why it's often challenging for men to form and maintain them.

J and I share our own stories, some of which are wounds from our past that still resonate today. We talk about the cultural norms that discourage men from expressing vulnerability and seeking emotional support from each other. But most importantly, we talk about breaking these barriers. You'll hear about the power of vulnerability and how being open about our feelings can lead to stronger, more supportive friendships.

This episode is not just for men; it's for anyone who wants to think more about friendships and the profound impact they have on our lives. I invite you to join us for a conversation that could change the way you view and make friendships.

So let’s get on the road!
