Something that has had a huge influence on our lives, and on our ability to make and maintain relationships has been showing up for our people. As obvious a piece of advice as it is, it's so important to show up. Literally, let's go to physical places. Be in the same room as other people. In this way, we can get to know people, and begin to have more friendships. Also, be conceptually and emotionally available to the people you already know. Show up in their texts and in their weekends.

People can't get to know you if you don't show up where they are.
