We all experience friendship—but it looks different depending on where we are in life.
So what does it take to truly connect across generations?
In this episode, Kirby sits down with Eric (65)—a custom designer for film, TV & red carpet, with 20 years and 100+ clients behind him—and Mamoun (22, a Moroccan-born musician and Kirby's own guitar teacher) for a warm, honest conversation about friendship, vulnerability, ego, and the connections that shape who we are.
Together, they explore how different generations build trust, show up for each other, and let go of the assumptions that keep us apart—and discover that the things that make a friendship last are more universal than we think.
In this episode:
• Why younger people often feel freer around older friends
• Letting go of ego to actually stay teachable
• How men learn (and unlearn) to express vulnerability
• Why reciprocity and intentionality keep a friendship alive
• Realizing the "grown-ups" in your life are human too
• What friendship means at every stage of life
From a young musician who finds comfort and wisdom in older friends… to a seasoned creative who calls friendship the most important thing in his life… this conversation reminds us that connection has little to do with age.
And perhaps what matters most isn't how much we have in common.
It's the willingness to stay curious, drop our biases, and really see each other.
Because in the end, friendship across generations may be one of the simplest ways to grow.
