ABOUT FRIENDS WITH SMILEY
Hi! My name is Smiley. Thank you for being here.
I’m the author of three books that have been translated into multiple languages, including The Quarter-Life Breakthrough, The Breakthrough Speaker, and Friendship in the Age of Loneliness. I speak at the world’s top companies on building a culture of belonging and human connection in the future of work. My purpose right now is to help people spend more time with their friends and prioritize friendship in the age of loneliness.
This is my Substack newsletter, called Friends with Smiley, where I share tools and tips to help ensure the future of work is human connection. Please subscribe to start receiving emails right here in your Inbox (drag this email to your Primary Inbox so you don’t miss one!).
