In this episode, I show you how to find your people, have more fun, and create meaningful friendships as an adult in a very simple way.

And it starts with your morning coffee.

Plus, I’m sharing 4 opening lines and tactics you can use when approaching a potential new friend.

Can we just be honest? Making new friends as an adult is so hard. And I believe that we are all struggling with it.

So I’m going to share the strategies that I have used in the last year to go from moving to a new town and feeling like I have "no friends" to taking the steps to create an awesome new circle of adult friends.

Today you’ll learn:

The ONE practical and life-changing tool you need to create adult friendships
A fun framework for friendship that involves the 4 different types of coffee shops in your area
The lies we all tell ourselves about friendships that keep us thinking we have none
How remote work has changed the friendship game
The single best place to park yourself on a Saturday morning to find your people
How to approach a stranger (potential friend) without coming across as weird, creepy, or awkward

What I’m sharing today works because this is how I found my people in the last 12 months.
