With Maslow's hierarchy of needs, you need shelter, you need food, and then you need love and friendships.

If you're not getting that, you cannot be self-actualized.

You cannot be the best employee you can for your company.

And research shows by Gallup that if you have friends, especially best friends at work, you're going to stay at that company longer.

You're going to work even harder for that company.

And especially for people our age who have corporate jobs, not like us.

they view their team as their work family and they view their manager as their work parent.

And it's pretty hard to leave a family, but it's pretty easy to leave a bunch of acquaintances.

Paul Polman.

The guy's a monster.

I think he has the most amount of LinkedIn followers out of anyone.

I don't really use many online.

Actually, my favorite mobile tool now is Instagram.

I wish my 20-year-old self knew that everything was going to work out and I had nothing to worry about.
