Intro

In this episode you'll learn:

• How to maintain meaningful friendships when you transition from employee to business owner, especially when your friends were former colleagues
• Practical strategies for redefining "regular" contact - why quarterly deep connections can be more valuable than frequent surface-level catch-ups
• Creative alternatives to traditional evening meetups that work better for busy entrepreneurs, including weekend activities, walking meetings, and annual friendship retreats
• How to use technology strategically for maintaining long-distance friendships without losing the personal connection
• Why being honest about your capacity strengthens rather than weakens your friendships
• The crucial role friendships play in business success - providing perspective, emotional support, and a safe space to process entrepreneurial challenges
