How To Make Friends With Rob Riker

How To Make Friends With Rob Riker - become more compelling radio
On this episode of Become More Compelling Radio, I'd like to introduce you to my friend Rob Riker (@robertgriker) from The Social Winner. 

Over the last few months, I've seen a lot of questions about making friends...  
  
  • "How do I make friends?"
  • "How can I build my friendship circle?"
  • "What's the best way to make plans with a new friend?"
​
This podcast will answer all these questions and more. If you've ever wanted a solid strategy around making new friends and connections, this podcast episode is for you. After listening, you'll be able to make new friends on command.

Rob has been featured in Business Insider, Lifehack, The Friend Formula, and Tiny Buddha.

I like Rob's insights on friendship and creating a fulfilling, lasting social circle:

Friend hits me up out of the blue. We hang out and I’m so glad we did.

Lesson here: be like my friend. Be proactive and stop waiting for others to do the work.

Even if nothing comes from it, you’re nourishing the relationship. Win/win.
