#011 Kat Vellos helps people forge better friendships through fresh, thoughtful, new (and classic) mediums. By using her roots in design thinking — not to mention her incredible book, We Should Get Together — she's tackling the loneliness epidemic head-on. And if you want to know how to make friends as an adult, or how to facilitate that experience for others, this episode is a must-listen. She's got a bunch of advice and knowledge in this department — from "intimish" events to platonic speed dating — plus some wonderful alternatives to overused conversation starters. (Can we please stop defaulting to "how are you?")
