Jenny and Sarah get real (and a little vulnerable) about what it actually looks like to build something together when your brains couldn’t be wired more differently.

From inner monologues that never shut up to brains that see zero pictures when they read (yes, it’s a thing), they unpack how wildly different mental wiring shows up at work, in friendships, and in every tense “are you mad at me?” conversation they’ve ever had.

They talk through:

  • Why friction between “big‑picture idea people” and “process‑first planners” isn’t a flaw, it’s the secret sauce
  • How knowing each other’s operating systems changed the way they brainstorm, decide, and stay (mostly) sane
  • Why psychological safety isn’t just a buzzword, and why your team won’t share their best ideas without it

And yes, there’s laughter, a few cold‑plunge confessions, and plenty of “holy crap, you see it THAT way?” moments.

Great teams aren’t made of clones. They’re built on trust, tension, and a lot of honest conversations.

Highlights:
[00:02] Inner dialogue, color‑coded days, and the shock of finding out not everyone pictures an apple in their head
[25:10] Why Jenny blurts ideas like fireworks and Sarah needs two hours (and a spreadsheet) to process them
[39:45] That time Sarah felt squashed and Jenny felt shut down and why naming it mattered
[52:00] Quick starts vs. deep thinkers and why teams need both
[1:04:20] What Clifton Strengths taught them about each other (and why “restorative” isn’t just being negative)
[1:15:00] Cold plunges, last‑minute chaos, and how showing up late can still get the job done

Tell us:
Are you the big‑idea quick‑start or the thoughtful process‑first type?
DM us! We love seeing how real teams actually work.

Hit play! Because it turns out, opposites don’t just attract… they build some pretty badass businesses too.
