As the GU Disruptors Summit approaches, we’re looking at dynamic partners in prime who represent business and friendship. It can be hard to cultivate true friendships when trust is harder to find in the spotlight.
“It’s so fun to be friends with someone where they fill your gaps,” Olamide Olowe said at the 2023 GU Creator’s House. “We talk a lot about romantic relationships, but we don’t talk about [friendships] who fill your cup and push you to dig deeper.”
When you have a support system and a strong foundation, making decisions regarding business and leveling up in your career becomes easier. Being in central corporate spaces in the industry can feel overwhelming, especially when alone.
No matter what you call your best friend, the goal should always be to level up. As we prep for the infamous ‘Partner In Prime, ‘ we’re breaking down the must-know entrepreneurs and besties on how they get money together and take their friendship and bank accounts to new heights.
