Work-Wife, Work-Husband. Whatever your situation is, these terms weren’t created for no reason. Collaborating in the work environment is just the same as being in a relationship. In this episode, we discuss how we, as two separate business owners, laniletter.com and madebyterri.com managed to team up together to create Shameless Dialogues. We hilariously go through a silly list of the “Make It and Break Its” of collaborating and also introduce our new segment, “Hall of Shame.” We’re revealing some pretty crazy facts in this one!

Part-time jobs, full-time jobs, side-hustles…what’s the difference? Is there a difference? This episode breaks down the fine line between part-time and side-hustle.

We also share our current money making situations, and hilariously reminiscence on our first jobs and odd jobs. You’re going to want to listen to this one because it’s filled with a whole lotta LOLs!

Let’s talk about adulting and how it’s taken over our social lives. For every wrinkle gained, are you losing a friend in your circle?

Laughs will be shared, adulting knowledge will be gained, and Buddy Bands will be given! One of those Buddy Bands might even belong to you. So, if you’re a real Buddy of ours you probably should listen to this episode.
