EP 9 - Why Men Are Lonely, And How They Can Find Best Friends

Imari Tuakli is a life coach, international speaker, and transformational experience designer. He is also my best friend, business partner, and we live in a house together. This is a discussion about the epidemic of male loneliness and the antidote to it - friendships. We talk about how fear of vulnerability, intimacy, and homophobia gets in the way of male friendships, whether men can be platonic friends with women, how to find a best friend, why men are so lonely, and more.
