12. How to Make New Friends as an Adult

In this episode, Sam explores why it's easier to make new friends as a kid, harder to make new friends as an adult, and necessary to keep trying no matter what part of life we're in. She makes recommendations for not only places and occasions to meet new people and turn them into friends, but also how to approach them in a way that's more likely to result in friendship. Sam drops a couple bars and original theories in this one, so make sure to share it with a friend. Listen to this episode if you recently moved to a new city, if you're in your splinter era, if you're the "single friend" and you need to make more single friends, or if you just want to start meeting new people.
