What Does It (Really) Mean to be a Friend?

This is the question I pursued in a conversation with Jacob Southerland.

Jacob is my son’s best friend. Over dinner with the two of them, Jacob talked about his friendship with my son and his other friends. His views on friendship were so unique I recounted some of them in a blog. 

This blog hit a nerve with you, my readers, and my followers. This gave me the idea to invite Jacob to join me in a conversation on friendship. I am forty years his senior, and Jacob helped me understand what makes for true friends. How to nurture and develop genuine friendships.

It’s a short conversation, but it will be worth your time. It will get you thinking of your friends and who you are as a friend.
