What if partying was never about alcohol, drugs, or being “on” — but about connection?
In this episode, Morgan Freedude sits down with Evan Cudworth, also known as The Party Coach, for a deep, honest, and surprisingly grounded conversation about social life, masculinity, grief, and what it really means to belong.
Evan shares how profound loss became a catalyst for personal transformation — and why community, service, and curiosity are the antidotes to loneliness and social anxiety. Together, we unpack why so many men struggle to build real friendships, how structure and shared rituals create lasting bonds, and why the “party” most people are chasing externally already lives inside them.
We also explore:
Why overthinking social dynamics kills connection
How service to others dissolves social anxiety
Designing a sustainable social life, especially with ADHD
The role of music, rituals, and spiritual practice in human connection
Why embracing both light and darkness is essential for growth
Letting go of people-pleasing and reclaiming your inner value
This isn’t a conversation about becoming more charismatic.It’s about becoming more yourself — and realizing that fun, belonging, and meaning aren’t earned… they’re allowed.
If you’ve ever felt lonely in a room full of people, this episode will hit home.
🎶 The party is within.
