    Fatherly Grit / Can you still make friends?

    In this episode, Mars and Julius talk as usual about the status of their 75Hard Challenge, but also about the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult to make or maintain new friendships as you get older with a family. For men in particular, the question is always whether they are my drinking buddies or people with whom I have more in common. There is talk about listener feedback regarding the mom mob and how to remain stable when it comes to raising your children, despite the many outside influences.
