How To Stop Being The Pushover Friend

This week, the guys unpack why boundaries feel so awkward to set, why so many of us confuse them with rejection, and how healthy communication can actually make friendships stronger instead of weaker. They share stories about calling friends too often after switching to remote work, having the courage to lovingly challenge a friend, navigating friendships after marriage and kids, and learning that sometimes "I can't make it" isn't personal—it's simply part of a healthy friendship. If you've ever felt guilty for protecting your time, struggled to say "no" to someone you love, or wondered whether setting a boundary could actually strengthen a friendship, this episode is for you.
