No More Lonely Friends with Marissa Meiz...

SIMON SINEK
About this episode

How would you react if you found out that your friends purposely planned a birthday party when you were out of town so you wouldn’t attend? And what if you found out from a video that went viral on TikTok? 

That’s exactly what happened to Marissa Meizz. 

Marissa's reaction was absolutely beautiful. She used the attention - and the pain - to help others. She founded No More Lonely Friends, a group dedicated to help anyone who wants to build deeper, more meaningful friendships.

This is… A Bit of Optimism.
