The Friend School

Welcome to The Friend School podcast with Matt & Paige!

It's time to discover your confidence and deepen your connections with others.

In this episode, we’re diving into the art of asking questions and discovering how a little curiosity can supercharge your connections.

Wherever you’re at on the “interested in others” scale, the good news is that you can grow! And that, my friend, is an incredible gift to offer others.  

Let’s jump in!

Have you ever been on the receiving end of someone who is genuinely interested in you...someone who asks great questions, listens well, and is genuinely curious about your life? It can be so life-giving and such a powerful way to connect. If it IS so life-giving, why don’t we do more of that?

The sad reality is that curiosity and interested people are rare…and honestly, friendships suffer and stall out because of the lack of curiosity in others. 

Well, what if one of the most powerful secrets to connection wasn’t about talking endlessly about ourselves…but rather showing interest and curiosity into the lives of others?

What if our interest and our curiosity was a gift we could give to one another? What would that do for our friendship and connection? What does that look like and how do we grow as curious people?

Hey Friends! We're excited to have Dominic Nuncio with us to spill the beans and share his secrets on cultivating our curiosity and interest in other people.

Have you ever been to a really fun gathering? A really great party? What made it fun? What made it memorable? 

Have you ever been to a gathering that felt flat, dull, and just a little awkward and uncomfortable?  What was the difference? Chances are, the host had forethought and intentionality...or a severe lack of it.

Hospitality is a gift! And the good news is we can grow in it and learn to create spaces and gatherings that cultivate friendship and connection. You’re about to learn how.

You've heard the stats. Loneliness is on the rise. Life in a post-pandemic world hasn't solved the problem of isolation and loneliness...but it has exposed it. And according to the latest research, it's getting worse. Most of us inherently know the antidote to loneliness is friendship and connection with others, but there's another barrier we all deal with: busyness. We need connection, but connection requires time...and time feels like one of the things we just never have enough of. So what are we to do? Well, what if cultivating the connection we need didn't require the huge amount of time we think it does? What if we could pushback on the loneliness and foster life giving connection we need in as little as 8 minutes? That's right. 8 minutes might be all you need to extinguish the loneliness and experience deeper connection. Sound impossible? Well, let's get into it. School is now in session!
