Welcome back to another episode of Not The Friends You Put on Speaker. Episode 10 delves into how adult friendships aren't as simple as they use to be. We unpack the realities of maintaining friendships as life changes - moving away, shifting priorities and unmet expectations.

We talk about the importance (and rarity) of 50-50 effort. We dive into why making friendships as an adult feels so hard and how to navigate the loneliness, growth and acceptance that comes with it

We share what we've learnt since launching the podcast, unpack the reality of analytics and social media growth and talk honestly about how numbers can both motivate and challenge you.

We touch on the importance of friends and family support when building something from the ground up and what it really feels like when that support shows up (or doesn't).
