Secret Episode // A Conversation Between Business Besties

June 1, 2016

Normally we have an outline of what we want to talk about before we record each episode, but in this secret episode, we’re going rogue—you’ll get to see the real Kathleen and Emily. This is a peek into what a real conversation looks like between business besties (and give you a glimpse into the conversations that evolved into the idea of starting a podcast together).

I feel this certain amount of pressure to have the answer, and I don't have the answer. Share on X I don't want people to confuse authenticity with extroversion or boldness or crassness. Share on X If podcasting has taught me anything, voice is more impactful than words on a screen. Share on X It's really easy to say what you want, and it's another thing entirely to do it. Share on X If you're going to be in a relationship, you have to be open to the other person growing. Share on X
