As we kick off International Friendship Month, it’s the perfect time to talk about what it means to be a friend in a world that often feels disconnected. Join host Paula Felps as she sits down with award‑winning filmmaker and author Barnet Bain to explore the surprising origins of his fascination with friendship, the “bubble” we all live inside, and why genuine connection requires presence, curiosity, and courage.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why friendship is a skill — not something we simply “fall into.”
• How to create safety, consistency, and presence in your closest relationships.
• A simple 24‑hour practice that can transform how you see and respond to others.
