99% of people that connect with me either don't send me a message, or if they send me a message, it's a terrible message. Or if I connect with them, regardless of whether they do one or the other, they immediately start pitching me on something. That is the worst way you could possibly build a relationship.

So that's kind of one of my anecdotal, you know, pieces of evidence that I don't think most people are really good at building relationships and friendships. There's so many things that I could talk about when it comes to this subject, because I'm so passionate about it. I even think of the word friend differently.

Most people will not call somebody a friend unless they're ready to have a pajama party with them. This is my definition of a friend. If I know you and you know me, and we like each other, we're friends. Now that doesn't mean we're BFFs, but we're friends.

So as soon as you put somebody in your mind, they're your friend, you start to treat things differently and things are no longer transactional and things are more about them than they are about you. So I think just refining your definition of what a friend is. I mean, I felt like you and I were friends very early on, like first conversation. I knew you. You knew me. I like you. You liked me.

And then, you know, so we went from probably. A situation where if somebody said, do you know Heather? I would say, yeah, I know Heather. To now, if somebody says, do you know Heather? I'm like, do I know Heather? I freaking love Heather Monahan. So it changes. There's a continuum of friendships. But I think having the mindset of viewing people as your friend changes the way you approach people.

A hundred percent. And then you showed up for me consistently. You know, when I talk about friendship with people, I always use you as an example because you are somebody who shows up at the most inopportune times. And whether it's right before a TED Talk to come to New York for a book launch party or whatever the case may be.
