✨ Episode Summary: I’m diving into a topic that’s close to my heart and essential for long-term success: how to make business friends.

We often hear about marketing strategies and growth plans—but what about the relationships behind the scenes? Business friends can offer support, accountability, and even joy in a journey that can sometimes feel isolating. But making those connections isn’t always easy.

🎧 What You’ll Learn:

  • The surprising benefits of having friends in business (spoiler: it’s not just about networking)

  • Why it can feel hard to make business friends—and why you’re not alone in that feeling

  • Simple, proactive steps you can take to build genuine connections

  • What to do when a business friendship doesn’t work out

  • Real-life stories of how I’ve met some of my closest friends through business—and how you can, too

💛 Whether you’re just starting out or feeling a little lonely on your entrepreneurial journey, this episode will give you hope, ideas, and encouragement to find your people.
