Key Takeaways

• Expander friends help you dream bigger by modeling what’s possible and cheering you on.

• Celebrate the wins, big or small, with people who truly get it.
• Support can be found everywhere, including social media, networking, or casual coffee chats.
• Being an expander friend is just as rewarding as having one—give what you wish to receive.
