Starting a New Life in Phoenix, AZ

Hi Everybody!

I am new to the forum. I just recently quit my job in Columbus, Ohio to start a new job in Phoenix, AZ.

At my previous job, I had no work/life balance. I was working 60+ hours/week and 6-7 days/week. My life sucked and I didn't even realize it.This awesome guy I know is the CEO of his own company in Phoenix. He saw how miserable I was and thought I would be a good fit for his company. I took the job and things are going pretty good overall. I barely work 40 hours/week and make way more money.

Now that I have all this free time, I don't know what to do with myself. I don't want to get into videogames or binge watching; they are fun, but in the long run they are not very productive.

I am new to Phoenix and don't really have any friends here outside of coworkers.Any recommendations on what I could do or where I could make friends easily? If you are familiar with Phoenix, I live in Tempe near Scottsdale.
