Episode 26-Dadhood and Brotherhood: Why Fathers Need Other Men with Thomas McMinn

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.  Links:  ●     DADHOOD Podcast [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2155756] ●     ORDER Andrew’s New Book — LAUNCH: A Guide to Getting Unstuck, Navigating Life, and Thriving [https://a.co/d/e5FE5JZ] ●     Andrew Taylor’s Website [https://octagonmentoring.com/] Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2328579/fan_mail/new]
