    Our ground rules:

    • we will get off topic
    • we argue and pick fights with each other
    • we swear
    • we are intentionally provocative (and have to work through disagreements to get to the next level of relationship)

    Navigating Raw Conversations with Friends

    In this first episode of our podcast, we share insights into our friendship, highlighting the deep conversations that have made us best friends. In this episode, we reflect on how our relationship has evolved, and how we work with the complexities that come with being both friends and people who like to push boundaries.

    The journey of friendship

    We talk about how our connection has allowed for authentic and sometimes challenging discussions. If you are looking for a similar connection in your own life, this episode will resonate.

    Embracing vulnerability

    We are very honest about moments of tension and conflict, and how working through these challenges allowed us to grow. Ryan recalls a recent disagreement, stating, "We actually fought. But then we work through it because we love each other and we always find like common ground in our conversations." Our honesty about conflict sets the tone for this podcast, we want to explore uncomfortable yet necessary topics.

    What you can expect ahead

    Listeners can expect a mix of topics that resonate with both our personal and collective experiences. We would love to hear your ideas of what we can discuss.

    With this podcast, we hope to offer a space where listeners can feel like they are eavesdropping on an intimate conversation between friends, and we want to everyone to engage in deeper discussions in their own lives.

    See you Every Friday!
