Keith Ferrazzi

Author on relationships · Never Eat Alone

“Tend relationships before you need them.”
The idea

Ferrazzi's thesis is that real relationships are tended generously and continuously — you "ping" people and stay warm before you ever need something, rather than reaching out only when you want a favor.
