Episode Details

In this solo episode of The Uneducated PT Podcast, I dive into a real and often overlooked part of modern relationships — especially in the online business and coaching space. We explore the concept of "dead time" in friendship — those unstructured, agenda-free moments that build real connection — and contrast that with the transactional nature of productivity-based relationships. Is every friendship meant to be deep? Is it wrong to have people in your life just for collaboration? And how do you know when a connection is actually rooted in shared values — not just mutual benefit? Expect raw thoughts on:

• Why dead time is a litmus test for real friendship
• The difference between value-based and transactional connections
• Why it's okay to have both — and how to know what you're in
• Lessons from the online coaching world where friendships often come with a sales funnel

If you're building a business and trying to stay human, this one's for you.
