Friendship Factory

We make making friends fun again.

We believe it is the most needed medicine of our contemporary society.

Every quarter, we personally select 12 guests to participate in a fun, enlightening social experience with the intention to be playful, experimental and free. Yes, we cultivate connections between guests. Yes, it’s very hush-hush, and not always plush. Yes, it’s diverse…an invitation is a must.

Library Drive Winter 2025

We are creating a physical library of community curated leadership books. We believe that the books that inspired, equipped or reframed YOU as leader can do the same for others we serve.

Between January through March 2025, please consider donating a used or new leadership book to our cause. Your donation boosts our well-being. It ALSO tells us we are on the right track. Please help us collect and spread wisdom, social care and personalized leadership support to one another. 

Can you imagine if you received the gift of a leadership resource from a stranger, whose intention was only to guide, care for, and resource you? What ripple effect would this have? This is one way we can collectively bond together to disseminate the belief, and the evidence that, people are looking out for each other’s best interest.

 

Step 1

Select 1-3 leadership books that have personally made a difference in your life. The books can come from any genre, and be written in any style.  Feel free to send us workbooks, cartoon books and children books or other creative expressions.


Step 2

Write 3-5 bullet points or up to 3 sentences on a post-it or index card for how each book impacted you, or why you selected it. Adding your name or other identifiers is optional.


Step 3

Mail books NLT March 31st, 2025 to:

Krystal  Free Leadership

Asheville, NC 28806

You can buy new/used books online and ship directly to us if that is easiest for you. If possible, please write a digital note for step 2 above.

March 3rd, 7-9 pm
