Real Friends vs Deal Friends with Cary Jack

Real friends versus deal friends—ever thought about which ones you have more of in your life?

Well, I sure have, and it's a topic we're diving into on the latest solo episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast.

In this episode, we're unpacking the science behind friendships. According to author and social scientist Arthur Brooks, friendship is one of the key factors in finding and maintaining happiness as we age.

Did you know it takes a whopping 94 hours to transition from acquaintances to real friends? And a staggering 300 hours to reach best friend status! That's some serious investment, but let me tell you, it's worth every moment.

But let's get real for a moment—while deal friends have their place, nothing beats the camaraderie of true friendship. These are the people who support us through life's ups and downs, the ones we can count on no matter what.

So, here's my challenge to you: invest in your friendships. Step out of your comfort zone, attend masterminds, and prioritize face-to-face interactions. It's these genuine connections that bring true happiness and fulfillment.

So if you're feeling the FOMO kicking in, we've had a last-minute cancellation on our upcoming Montana Mastermind Epic Skiing Adventure on March 19- 24, opening up a spot just for you. Simply apply at https://thehappyhustle.com/skimastermind/ and secure your spot before it's gone. It's an opportunity to clock over 94 hours with high-performing entrepreneurs like yourself, creating real, meaningful connections that last a lifetime.

And hey, if you're hungry for more wisdom, don't forget to pre-order my upcoming book, The Happy Hustle 2.0, available at thehappyhustle.com/book.
