When creative friendships develop mismatched priorities

My best friend and I have been working on a podcast together for two years and somewhere along the way I started caring more about the craft and she started caring more about the audience and now we record episodes that satisfy neither of us. We both feel like we're compromising our standards but we can't figure out how to name what's actually different between us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two friends are discovering their creative values have diverged, but the friendship makes it harder to address the professional misalignment directly.
