Welcome to the first episode of Long Distance Bestie Pod — and who better to kick things off than my 3-year Atlanta bestie, former coworker, brief roommate, full-time comedian, and forever supporter of every side quest I’ve ever had: Juan Suarez Sandino.

In this episode, Juan and I talk about how we went from working together to becoming real-life besties, the memories that bonded us, our work trip chaos, briefly living together, and the many eras of Bhavna side hustles he has had to witness... from bracelets to wedding planning to now, this podcast.

It’s funny, chaotic, heartfelt, and very much a “how did we even get here?” kind of catch-up.

Welcome to the pod, bestie. Let’s yap.
