| 0:16.6 | In this segment, we talk all about how to keep building friendships, how to make lasting |
| 0:22.6 | relationships, things that we have and have it done right. |
| 0:26.5 | We keep the conversation going and we keep it light. |
| 0:30.8 | We keep it fun. |
| 0:32.3 | Let's check it out. |
| 0:39.7 | All right. we are back. |
| 0:42.5 | We have been talking about friendships, really this week, |
| 0:45.0 | as about community building and friendships. |
| 0:49.7 | And I thought, you know, Lauren, you're the best person to have to talk about this, |
| 0:53.9 | particularly for this next part because I want to talk about community building, |
| 0:58.6 | friendship building as an entrepreneur and as a podcaster. |
| 1:03.0 | And so for you, Lauren, I really want to start off by asking you, |

And I love that. I was like, oh, when you work in something or an environment with like-minded people, And that's the majority of where you spend your time during the day, especially I was like I had a relationship with no kids and like that was where I thrive.
