Starting A Business & Building with Your Friends with Justine and Natasha of 2 Black Girls, 1 Rose Feb 06, 2024

Show notes

We've all been there. Late one night you and your friend come up with a business idea that will change the world. But is it actually a good idea to start a business with a friend?

Today, I’m sitting down with Justine and Natasha, co-hosts of the 2 Black Girls, 1 Rose podcast for an exciting conversation on how to start a business, keep friendship sacred, and collab creatively with your closest friends.

Justine and Natasha have been best friends since high school and turned their love of reality TV into a fun, engaging platform over the past few years. But there’s always a flip side to running a business with your friend...

From creative differences to making time for girl dinner, these two share how their friendship has changed since their 20s and how their relationship as business partners has improved for the better with the help of effort and communication.

We Also Talk About…

Hanging onto friendships that no longer bring you joy
Turning mundane parts of your friendship into points of connection
How to keep business and friendship separate
How to hold space for your individual aspirations while in a business relationship
