How Many of Us Have Them… FRIENDSHow many of us have them?Friends.The older I get, the more complicated that word becomes. Friendship isn't just about how long you've known somebody. It's about who shows up, who tells you the truth, who can celebrate your growth without competing with it, and whether both people are willing to evolve.In this episode, I get into the expiration dates on certain behaviors, the difference between loyalty and enabling, growing apart without turning every ending into betrayal, and the uncomfortable question we don't ask enough:Are you actually a good friend?And yes, we have to talk about Jason Pitts from The Game — because sometimes the friend who gets on your last nerve is still the one who's there when it matters.Friendship changes as we get older. Life gets busier, people move, priorities shift, and sometimes relationships fade without anyone becoming the villain.But the real ones?They make room for growth.They tell you when you're wrong.They celebrate you when you win.And when life gets ugly, they're still there.How many of us have them?
