As you get older, staying in touch with friends gets harder. Life gets busier. People move cities. Careers take off. Relationships start. And suddenly, the friends you used to see every day become the friends you "need to catch up with."

In this episode of Guyset, I talk about why adult friendships naturally shift over time and why it takes real effort to maintain connection as life changes. Whether you're navigating long-distance friendships, struggling to keep up with friends after college, or just realizing you haven't seen someone important to you in months, this episode is for you.

I break down three simple ways to stay in touch with friends as you get older:

• How to actually make plans that stick • The 7-minute phone call rule • Why sending the text when you think of someone matters

Friendships evolve. That doesn't mean they disappear. It just means they require intention.

If you've ever wondered how to maintain friendships as an adult, how to stay close to long-distance friends, or how to keep meaningful relationships strong as life gets busier, this episode gives you practical advice you can use immediately.
