0:07.6	Hey, welcome to another episode of We're Going There. I'm your host, Bianca Wadis Oltoff,
0:12.3	and I'm excited about today's episode. I mean, I think I say there about every episode,
0:17.0	but legit, I'm excited because the guests that I have on today's show are not just people
0:22.4	that might have different influences in different spheres, but they have influence into my life.
0:28.1	As we were laying out this season, I knew I wanted the season to feel a little bit different.
0:32.1	I wanted some to be interviews. I wanted some to be conversations. I wanted some to be practical.
0:36.8	I wanted some to be inspirational or instructional. Well, this episode, we are going to be tackling the topic of
0:43.1	friendship. Now, I know you're probably thinking like friendship. Why are we going to talk about

1:17.8	hang out with? Our time is so limited as adults, especially as life and seasons change,
1:22.2	whether you are in a new job or maybe you have children or your job required you to travel. So if community
1:29.7	is important, which we'll get into in a second, then how do we cultivate community? So the reason
1:34.7	I'm passionate about this is because I remember watching back in high school an episode of the
1:39.4	Oprah Winfrey show. Don't judge me. Okay. Don't judge me. The queen of TV herself had a phenomenal
