This chat started with plenty of laughs before we even hit record, but it quickly turned into one of those conversations that reminds you what real friendship actually looks like. Mike and I unpacked why making genuine friendships as adults is so bloody hard, how easy it is to let relationships drift without ever saying what we're really thinking, and why communication matters far more than most of us realise.

We also wandered into some really honest territory around belonging, gratitude, giving feedback, accepting praise (something I clearly still struggle with), and the stories we tell ourselves about success and failure. Mike shared one of the most powerful lessons from losing his legs and how embracing, rather than hiding, what happened changed the way he saw himself forever.

It's a conversation about friendship, identity, resilience, and the courage to tell the people in your life that they matter. Plus, plenty of completely unnecessary tangents, sarcasm, and evidence that some of the best conversations happen when there's absolutely no plan.
