It’s here!
Against the Fade just launched with two episodes — and I want you to hear them both.
Episode 1: The Quiet Crisis
What’s actually happening to men in midlife — physically, socially, emotionally — and why nobody’s connecting the dots. I break down the data, name the problem, and explain why I’m calling it "the fade."
Episode 2: The Loneliness Epidemic
The number of men with no close friends has skyrocketed. Loneliness is now as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. This episode digs into why men specifically lose friendships in midlife — and what you can do about it.

Or find us on any podcast app — just search "Against the Fade."
One thing I want you to know: this show isn’t a lecture. I’m 47. I’m in this fight with you. I’ve felt the fade myself. And I built this podcast because I think naming the problem is the first step to fighting it.
If this resonates with you — or if you know a man who needs to hear it — forward this email or share the show. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is let someone know they’re not invisible.
New episodes drop every Tuesday.
Don’t fade.
