Real Friends Vs. Deal Friends | With Purpose - Episode 20

from With Purpose · host Ben Hutton

Who are your real friends, and who are your deal friends? In this week’s episode, Ben explores a concept from Arthur Brooks about the difference between relationships rooted in commitment and those built around transaction. Deal friends aren’t bad, but confusion happens when we expect them to show up like real friends when they were never meant to. Watch this episode to reflect on how to recognize the difference and how to invest intentionally in the few relationships that matter most.
