Every friendship has some sort of glue that bonds the people together, and some glues seem to be stronger than other. However, that does not mean you should write off people who have any "lesser glues." Doing that is a limiting belief or self-fulfilling prophecy that keeps you from making stronger connections with friends. 

Brian sits down with Nick Chung and Charlie Hoberg to discuss the glue that bonds them together while they were in college at Santa Clara University and still today.

I am excited to take the podcast in a slightly different direction with my new mission statement: to entertain and inspire listeners to end loneliness for someone else by showing up for their friends. As my therapist friend, aka my therapist once said, “If you want to make good friends, you have to be a good friend” so on this podcast I’m going to share with you all real stories of people showing up for their friends.  

Season 1  (the first 11 episodes) were more free form interviews with my friends as we talked about anything and everything related to friendship and faith. Season 2 will be much more focused on sharing stories of how people have shown up for their friends. New episodes air on Wednesdays. I hope you enjoy listening!

On the season 1 finale, I sat down with my friend Weston Weller of San Jose, CA, not to be confused with his cousin Weston Weller who lives in Texas. Weston has earned the reputation of the King of the Irish goodbye so we started off with the pros and cons of leaving a party without saying goodbye.
