    It’s a new year so we thought we’d get back to basics and answer the foundational question that launched this podcast – how exactly do you make a friend?

    #112 - New Year's Res-BRO-lutions 2025

    Most people make resolutions in various areas of their lives, vow to join the gym, which usually lasts all of 3 weeks, vow to save x number of dollars that we fall woefully short of while we rack up credit card debt, but very few of us include our friendship goals into our resolutions. We want to normalize that. So please include one friendship related resolution for 2025. manoftheyearpodcast.com

    #110 - Posting Up

    People often think they need to make a concrete plan that involves a location and an activity, but we found a hack that seems to work. Friends benefit from lowering the barrier and just putting out the open call, aka posting up. Just telling people where you're gonna be and make it real easy for them to hang or just swing by. manoftheyearpodcast.com
