You asked. We answered. And apparently, some of you have been waiting a long time to ask these questions.

In this episode of Unfiltered Conversations Between Friends, Jaimie and Victoria are handing the microphone over to you and answering questions from listeners about friendship, business, life, Between Friends Coffee, the podcast, and everything that happened along the way.

What was the biggest difference between us as business owners? Did owning a coffee shop together make our friendship stronger—or nearly destroy it? What drove us absolutely crazy about each other? What do we miss? What do we *not* miss? Do we regret closing? And if someone showed up tomorrow with enough money to reopen Between Friends Coffee…would we actually do it?

We’re talking favorite memories, biggest fights, beloved customers, life after the coffee shop, the evolution of Between Friends, and a few things we probably never expected anyone to ask.

No scripts. No rehearsed answers. Just two best friends, a lot of history, and your questions. Because conversations are better Between Friends!

We probably said too much in this one...

But then again, the podcast is called "Unfiltered Conversations Between Friends" for a reason.

Our newest episode takes you behind the scenes of something we have never really talked about publicly: the offers to buy Between Friends Coffee, the conversations about selling the business over the years, and the sales that almost happened.

We talk about what made us consider selling in the first place, what it feels like when someone puts a price on something you built from nothing, the emotions that come with imagining someone else behind your counter, and what happens when a potential sale does not end the way you thought it would.

There were offers. There were negotiations. There were difficult conversations. There were moments when we thought we knew exactly what was going to happen next, only to find ourselves somewhere completely different.

And yes, we divulged a lot. Maybe more than we should have. But there is the sensible version of the story, and then there is what actually happened. This week, we are telling the latter!

Conversations are better Between Friends. Thank you for being our Friend!

Making friends as a kid seemed easy. You sat next to someone at school, played on the same team, or discovered you both liked the same thing, and suddenly you had a new best friend. Making friends as an adult can be a very different story!

On this episode of Unfiltered Conversations Between Friends, we are talking about adult friendship: where we find our people, how friendships change as we get older, what makes us click with someone, and what it actually takes to maintain friendships while juggling work, family, responsibilities, and everything else adulthood throws at us.

We are also joined by an old friend whom we met through the coffee shop when she was technically one of our small business competitors. Somewhere along the way, competition turned into conversation, conversation turned into friendship, and now she is sitting at the table with us.

There are stories, laughs, differing opinions, and the kind of conversation that happens when friends sit down together and start talking. Our newest episode, “Between Making Friends & Keeping Them,” is available now wherever you listen to Unfiltered Conversations Between Friends.

Because conversations are better Between Friends.
