If you haven’t had a chance to dive in, in the latest episode I asked: how can we make new connections and maintain friendships?

Before launching this podcast, I put out a survey with my newsletter readers and asked: When was the last time you made a friend and how did you make them?

I recently collected the responses in the article, 101 ways to make and maintain friendships.

What I found interesting when compiling the responses was that three common themes continued to come up again and again.

If you haven’t already listened to the latest episode, it explores these three themes: being in the world, joining things, and deepening existing connections.
