This week on the Common Nomad podcast, we discuss shifting our friendship to becoming business partners. Starting a podcast has been an interesting experience. Doing a podcast may seem fun, but it is actually business once you start to receive compensation and opportunities arise. We also discuss the reasons we chose to do this together and what has sustained this podcast thus far!

As always, thanks for listening!

Welcome to Season 3 of the Common Nomad Podcast! According to podcast statistics, most podcasts fail and less than 20% of podcasts started may not make it in the following year. We are definitely grateful for having season three and our listeners.

This episode, we have Brittney Mengistu (a friend of Priscilla's) who has done research in the Eritrean and Ethiopian populations looking at migration, self-care, and mental health. This was a great collaboration to discuss self-care (when living abroad) and friendships.

If you are interested in Brittney's research and work, you can find her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittneymengistu/ or Brittney S. Mengistu, PhD, MPH.

As always, thanks for listening!.

On this week's episode of the Common Nomad podcast, Scylla & Edward discuss how certain social connections can not be labeled as friendships. Sometimes, they are not people that are against you either. Also, sometimes being around people can breed an unspoken competition when you are not too familiar with them. Check out this episode.

Happy Friday, listeners! We're back again with another episode. This episode, Edward & Scylla have a special guest on the discussion of female friendships. Scylla & Nsiki ( IG: @lanelelo) have been friends for nearly ten years and they discuss the evolution of their friendships. It is unfortunate that female friendships can be depicted to be catty, filled with jealousy or envy, but thankfully this friendship doesn't exhibit any of those traits! Check out this episode and let us know what you think!

As always, thanks for listening!

Happy Friday! We have a new episode about the maintenance of friendships. Some friendships require a bit more effort than others and that is okay. Sometimes, that could be a good thing or a bad thing. We talk specifically about high vs low maintenance friendships, we define these relationships .. you know how we like definitions here! Also, we talk about the differences between the types and which type of friend we think we are. Check it out our new episode! As always, thanks for listening.

On this episode, we brought a special guest to the Common Nomad podcast! We invited, George, Edward's younger brother to discuss how their sibling dynamic translates to friendship. Sibling dynamics are a different type of bond altogether simply because you were born into it and you truly learn to accept your sibling(s) as they are apart of you. Check it out! As always, thank you for listening!
