Well, you know, the rules have stayed the same.
And what I learned is that every friendship needs an about.
And the about needs to be clear and compelling to both people.
So when you're in third grade and you're like, oh, you like Transformers?
I like Transformers.
Well, let's go talk about Transformers.
That was enough to form a friendship around.
But we can still apply that now, today, as we make friends.
You just need to figure out what the about is.
And I think a mistake a lot of people have is the extended invitation.
Like, hey, Mike, do you want to get coffee?
And you're like, well, why?
You're probably thinking, okay, that sounds great.
But why?
Why do you want to get together?
Why should I rearrange my commitments to get coffee with you?
So now the work, our work is to explain what the about is and the other person can decide if it's compelling.
So if I said, Mike, I love your podcast.
I'd love to hear more about it.
I'd love to help you with it.
