#189 - Andrew McCarthy on Male Friendship, Reconnecting, and the Power of Showing Up
About this episode
Andrew McCarthy discusses the importance of male friendship and the journey of reconnecting with old friends.
When Andrew McCarthy’s son asked him, “Do you even have friends?”, it sparked a 10,000-mile journey to reconnect with the people who shaped his life. In this episode, we talk about why male friendship so often fades, what men get right about connection, and why showing up—literally—can change everything. It’s a thoughtful conversation about loneliness, old friends, and what friendship really requires as we get older. Special thank you, as always, to my assistant producer, Rebekah Jacobs!
