    "We Almost Quit"… 1 Year of Unfiltered Brew

    We made it to 30 episodes… and somehow, it’s already been a year! In this episode, it’s just us, no guest, no script, just the real story behind Unfiltered Brew. From recording in our apartment with no clue what we were doing, to building something that’s brought us into rooms we once dreamed about… this one’s personal. We talk about what it actually looks like to build a podcast with your best friend—the good, the frustrating, and the moments we almost broke. The growth, the doubts, the lessons, and the reality of doing everything on our own. We get into confidence, communication, fear, rejection, and what keeps us showing up every single week—even when it’s hard. If you’ve ever wanted to start something, felt discouraged, or questioned yourself along the way… this episode is for you. This is 1 year of Unfiltered Brew. No filter, no holding back.
