  Hello.

• 00:05

  Hello, dear listener.

• 00:06

  And welcome into our speaking part three, Knowing people in general.

• 00:12

  Rory, hello.

• 00:13

  Hello, it's me.

• 00:14

  Yay.

• 00:15

  Rory is super friendly.

• 00:17

  He knows lots of people and a lot of people know him.

• 00:21

  So yes, he's the authority to talk about knowing people.

• 00:30

  In what situations are people willing to get to know new people?

• 00:36

  I imagine ones in which they feel at ease and have a desire to do so.

• 00:41

  I mean, probably from having some shared purpose, like networking, for example, when the express purpose of being in a place is to meet people and make new connections to your mutual benefit.

• 00:52

  Is it better to have a lot of friends than just a few friends?

• 00:57

  I'm not sure that's always true.

• 00:59

  I mean, surely it depends on what kind of person you are and if you value having a lot of connections or just a few.

• 01:05

  I mean, more isn't always better.

• 01:09

  Why is it hard to maintain friendships for some people?

• 01:13

  Yeah, well, good question.

• 01:15

  I mean, some very high achieving individuals might have heavy workloads and that makes it harder to see your friends and keep abreast of everything happening in their lives.

• 01:26

  I mean, if you're a CEO, for example, you might have a lot on your plate to deal with, which doesn't always leave time to go for a coffee, does it?
