Welcome to the last podcast of 2024! This is the “Not Your Common Conversation Podcast" featuring Chris Downing and Omar Henderson, and on this week’s episode we invite a close friend of the show, the wonderful Lisa Stewart. We kick things off on a very “friendly” themed podcast taking about friendship and the many different aspects of the connections we forge through this human experience. The cast starts by observing making friends home vs outta town. Lisa then asks the guys about their first ever friend. From there we try to determine the difference between a friendship and a relationship (if there is one), which leads to a brief conversation on where romance and intimacy falls in relation. Later we discuss interpersonal insecurities that come in between friendships and how to better communicate them. Other things we address include if blood is indeed thicker than water, is it appropriate to be possessive towards your friend/partner and a ton of other not so common conversations. Enjoy! Thanks for the continued support and we’ll see you in the new year!
