Scenario

When business partnerships strain lifelong friendships

My best friend and I started a small business together three years ago and now she wants to pivot in a direction that feels completely wrong to me, but I can tell she thinks I'm just being stubborn and resistant to change. We keep having the same circular conversation where we both leave feeling unheard.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who share both intimate history and professional stakes are discovering their visions have diverged, and neither knows how to honor both the friendship and the business.
