Summary

We will learn:

Why being more playful is one of the best ways to help your friendships.
How to be a better friend.
How to invest in new friendships.

The world is lonelier than ever. Even self-growth can be lonely. With some friends, the more I evolve from the person I was when we met, the more friction that seems to happen between me and those I’m outgrowing.

So there’s all these reasons and milestones and situations that make friendships even more difficult to keep, but how do we create connections that are lasting, and most importantly fulfilling?

Today we’re going to talk about practical habits and playful reminders on how to create meaningful connections, make new friends, and deepen relationships.

Our guest is Smiley Poswolsky. He is a workplace belonging expert, motivational speaker, and author of a few books including Friendship in the Age of Loneliness.
