Brendon Burchard’s podcast gave me pause today as I listened to him share his thoughts on and tips for deepening friendships. He described authentic friends as being able to share ideas, goals and concerns together. Rather than bonding through complaining like many people do, authentic friends bond by making a difference together. The high performance coach also shared that he had 15 conversations per week talking through an idea, goal, or concern with a friend. Wow, that’s a lot of conversations. This insight he shared gave me a new framework from which to consider my own friendships. Although, I’m not sure I have the capacity for 15 more conversations per week on top of the weekly conversations I’m already having.
