Sure as shit, I'm going to drive 45 minutes in peak hour traffic regardless because I know she would do the same for me.

If we want to become better friends, if we want to attract better friends into our life, starts with us first.

Let's get into it.

My first thing, which I feel wildly passionate about, guys, is actually becoming a good listener.

How often are we in friendship dynamics?

And I've been a victim of doing this in my friends.

You've probably done in my friends, in my friendships.

You've probably done the same, Gem, where your friend is coming to you and they're telling you something really exciting and you can't help but make it about your fucking self.

And I think in order to become a good friend or a better friend and, you know, really be that friend that people value having in their life, you need to learn how to listen to listen and not listen to speak.

And that is such an art form.

If your friend comes to you, like, for example, if Gemma comes to me and she's like, I'm so excited, I am climbing a mountain.

Instead of me going, oh, I've already climbed that mountain once.

It was absolutely crazy.

You need to make sure that you do this and this because we want to relate, which is a natural thing for us humans to do.

Could we just like shut the fuck up and let our friend have the moment of the excitement of climbing the mountain and just talk to her about what is she going to do to prepare for that?

Is she excited?

When does she climb this mountain?

What is it going to look like?

And actually just let her do the talking about the thing that she's excited about.

I love that.
