1 in 3 Men Don't Have a Mate They Could Call in a Crisis

40% of men lose touch with close friends after major life changes.

Priorities change
We stop making time
We wait for them to make it happen
We don’t want to make it awkward
We assume our mates will just always be there — until they’re not

This week’s challenge is...

Reconnect with a friend.
