094: Is Life Harder… Or Are Men Softer Now?
Share
Let's rip into a deceptively simple question that’s been lighting up convo's everywhere: is life genuinely harder… or are we just getting softer? Modern life is packed with creature comforts, convenience, and safety nets, yet blokes are still stressed, burned out, and feeling like they’re carrying the world. So what gives?
On this episode we compare today’s pressures to what our dads and grandads dealt with, and unpack the myth of the “tough old-school man” who never complained. Not because life was easy, but because talking about it wasn’t really an option. We dig into whether “soft times create soft men” is wisdom or just nostalgia, and whether we’ve lost resilience… or we’re simply facing a different kind of hard.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking “man up” and “I’m cooked” in the same week, this one’s for you!
