The Power of Presence: Why You Need Face-to-Face Time with Your Mates

Rob was deeply moved on The Rob & Ash Show today, reflecting on the passing of Adam Selwood and a powerful video reminding men just how rare quality time with friends becomes as life gets busier. As responsibilities grow, the chance to simply sit with your mates, laugh, and be fully present starts to slip away. But that time is more important than ever.

There’s something irreplaceable about being face to face with your brothers and friends. It is in those unfiltered moments, whether it’s over a coffee or a backyard catch-up, that connection is strengthened, support is felt, and life feels lighter. It’s not about grand plans; it’s about being there.

Rob’s message is clear: don’t wait. Make the time. Prioritise those friendships. Life moves fast, but the moments that matter most are the ones we share with the people we love.
