I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. I\u2019m weirdly passionate about adult friendships, mostly because no one teaches us how to do them. As kids, friendships just happen. You sit next to someone in class, or play on the same team, and boom! BEST FRIENDS. But as adults? It feels awkward. You want deeper friendships, but how do you even start? You can\u2019t exactly walk up to someone at the park and say, \u201cHey, want to be my best friend?\u201d Here\u2019s the good news: friendships aren\u2019t magic. They\u2019re built. And there\u2019s actual research, practical strategies, and even some scripts that make it so much easier.   \ud83c\udfaf In this episode, I riff on:    \u21a0 Why adult friendships feel harder than childhood friendships    \u21a0 The research: how many hours it really takes to move from acquaintance \u2192 friend \u2192 best friend    \u21a0 Why you don\u2019t need one \u201cperfect best friend\u201d (and how to build a friendship portfolio instead)    \u21a0 How to practice showing up, even when messy and awkward    \u21a0 Catchphrases and conversation starters that actually work    \u21a0 How to move past surface-level small talk and into a deep, lasting connection    \u21a0 Why vulnerability is the key to being fully seen in your friendships    \u21a0 The quirky mindset shift that helps me revive friendships, even after 10 years apart   PS.
