As entrepreneurs, we often have busy and packed lives—and as a result, friendships often get pushed to the side. Cultivating friendships is something that I think is really important, especially as we go into the new year and start to think about how we're going to invest our time in 2022. That's why I'm bringing back one of my favorite episodes all about friendships and entrepreneurship, where I talked about the importance of friendship not only on our mental health, but also on our physical well-being. I also shared why I'm so intentional with my own friendships and have been able to nurture them, despite the busyness that tends to come with entrepreneurial life.
