  <title>S2-E42: Your Circle Is Building You… or Breaking You - with Zoe Asher</title>
  <description>Eric talks with his friend Zoe Asher about building intentional adult friendships. They explore the idea of a “friendship audit,” the loneliness many people are facing, especially men, and why vulnerability is key to real connection. Zoe encourages listeners to stop waiting for meaningful friendships to happen and instead become the kind of friend they hope to find. Key Takeaways:  Perform a friendship audit to categorize your inner circle into specific roles such as the loyalist, confidant, champion, mentor, and truth-teller. Set recurring calendar alerts for your friends’ significant life dates, including anniversaries of loss or celebration, to ensure you provide meaningful support year after year. Prioritize personal phone calls on birthdays rather than sending generic digital messages to stand out and foster a more authentic human connection. Proactively communicate your personal boundaries and emotional capacities to your friends to build a foundation of honesty and avoid the friction caused by unspoken expectations. Focus on becoming the type of friend you desire by leading with vulnerability and &amp;quot;going first&amp;quot; to embody the qualities you value in others.  🔱&amp;amp;nbsp;Links &amp;amp;amp; Resources 🚨 Sign Up for Eric’s Email List https://forms.gle/QdcEbai6yPmpzhyn7 🛠&amp;amp;nbsp;Business &amp;amp;amp; Sales Tools Contractor Sales Secrets https://contractorsalessecrets.com/ Book a Call with Eric Triplett https://www.twtcontractorcoaching.com/callwithtriplett FREE Contractor Sales Training https://www.twtcontractorcoaching.com/cc 🌿&amp;amp;nbsp;Pond Industry Resources The Pond Digger https://theponddigger.com/ Helix Pond Filtration http://helixpondfiltration.com/ Fitz Fish Ponds – Koi Trips https://fitzfishponds.com/koi-trips/ Pond Trade Magazine https://www.pondtrademag.com/  📱&amp;amp;nbsp;Connect The Pond Digger on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theponddigger The Pond Digger on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/theponddigger Train With Triplett on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@trainwithtriplett 📅&amp;amp;nbsp;Events &amp;amp;amp; Communities Profit Accelerator Live - June 26-27 * Richmond, VA  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/profit-accelerator-live-tickets-1983337228039&amp;amp;nbsp; TWT Contractor Circle (Facebook Group) https://www.facebook.com/groups/twtcontractorcircle TWT Contractor Power Circle (Facebook Group) https://www.facebook.com/groups/twtcontractorpowercircle  💼&amp;amp;nbsp;Sponsors LiveSwitch https://join.liveswitch.com/TheDeepEnd </description>
