Politics & Friendship feat. Girl & The Gov

<p>We're back! And better than ever with our first guests of 2022 (cue the air horns!), Maddie Medved and Sammy Kanter, co-founders and hosts of <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/girl-and-the-gov-the-podcast/id1533621122">Girl and the Gov</a> podcast. That's right, we're getting * political * this week. Tune in as we talk about how Maddie and Sammy met (takeaway here, don't be afraid to slide into the DM's), what they're building at Girl &amp; The Gov and why political discourse and engagement are fundamental. Then we're switching gears and asking the tough questions: What happens when you don't see eye-to-eye with your friends when it comes to politics? Are there some things that can't be reconciled? How do you have a productive conversation if you don't agree? Maddie and Sammy share their tips for keeping conversations productive, drop some wisdom on opinions vs. values and explore how romantic relationships can be the perfect testing grounds for creating healthy boundaries in your friendships around politics. Our takeaway from this week? Diversity in friendship is important, and diversity in political views is no exception! &nbsp;</p> <p>While you're at it, check out their social at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/girlandthegov/">@girlandthegov</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/girlandthegovthepodcast/">@girlandthegovpodcast</a> to stay up to date on new episodes, events and join their amazing digital community.
