101 - “You Alright?” Isn’t Enough

101 - “You Alright?” Isn’t Enough17. Sept.54 Min.

Welcome to Back and Forth!

In this episode of Back and Forth, the guys lead an honest conversation about how to approach someone who might be having a tough time, and why simply asking “you alright?” means very little if you’re not prepared to genuinely listen

The lads talk about reading the room, asking the right questions, and knowing when to give someone space. They also explore why a proper check-in doesn’t end after one conversation, and why following up a few days later can make all the difference.

There’s honest chat about social media, performative support, and the difference between genuinely caring about someone and simply wanting to look like you do. They also share personal experiences from conversations with friends, neighbours and strangers, alongside reflections on friendship, gratitude, and the people who show up when life gets difficult.

A straightforward but important conversation about checking in properly, listening without trying to fix everything, and being there for people when it actually matters.
