About this listen

Stop choosing friends for entertainment. Start choosing them for survival.

Have you ever looked around in a moment of crisis only to realize your "support system" has vanished? Most of us make our biggest mistakes in life not because we are bad people, but because we chose the wrong people to stand beside us.

We’ve been taught that friendship is about shared hobbies and "good times." We were taught wrong.

The Friendship Manual is a no-nonsense guide to auditing your inner circle and building a "chosen family" that won't crumble when the storm hits.

Inside, you will learn the "Work Ethic" standard for friendship:

  • The Dependability Test: Why a friend’s professional character is the best predictor of their loyalty to you.
  • Associate vs. Friend: How to stop putting your hope in people who are only there for the entertainment value.
  • The Family Metric: Learn the specific markers that turn a "so-called friend" into a true brother or sister.
  • Protecting Your Character: Practical steps to recognize and remove the "bad company" that is quietly corrupting your potential.

Our friends are supposed to be our fortress. If yours feels more like a trap, it’s time to change the way you choose.

Don't wait until the next crisis to find out who stays. Download now and build a circle that lasts.
