Episode notes
Friend Hunting In Purposeful Places
- Fish for friends where people share your goals, like a local church or purpose-driven group.
- Run with others so you go further, finish stronger, and get sharpened by healthy peer pressure.

- Community without commitment is a mirage because shallow applause isn't true friendship.
- Real friends tell the truth and prioritize your long-term good over short-term feelings.

- Ask yourself: are you using your phone or is your phone using you, then pre-decide limits.
- Practical moves: don't charge your phone in your room and use apps that block social media during focused times.
