This episode felt like two old friends pulling out the mental photo album. Amy and I went back to our early days in media, the tiny moments that shaped us, the friendship that held through every move and every life shift. We talked about career transitions and how they push you to grow even when you are scared. We talked about AI changing the industry and why staying curious keeps you alive in this work.

Family came up, culture came up, all the childhood lessons that still pop up when you least expect them. We laughed hard, the kind of laugh you only share with someone who has known your whole story. I said I pitched a strike. She said she wants to be called grandma. And yes, someone named Chirito got a shoutout. Long friendships do that. They wander.

Toward the end we talked about the future. Books we want to write. Projects we want to chase. The kind of ideas you hold close until the timing feels right. The whole conversation reminded me that life moves fast and nothing is promised.

Hold your people close, Stay open to change and Keep building the story you want to live.
