Before the business talk, there's a friendship. In this first episode, Britt and Puja go back to the beginning — a coffee date that Puja thought was professional and Britt immediately turned into a full-on friendship audition. They get into what makes their dynamic actually work: mirrored cycles, brutal honesty, and the rare thing that happens when you find someone who understands the highs and lows of building something from scratch. No mentors required.

It took us over a year to actually hit record. If you've been asking when this was happening — here's your answer.

In this first episode, Britt and Puja finally introduce themselves and the show. You'll hear about Puja's work running Roop Creative and Designer Dates, Britt's work building Merit Media and Founder Advisory, and the WhatsApp thread that started it all.

The baseline of who we are: we do things, and we help others do things better.

We'll Circle Back is about founder life — the scaling, the pivots, the parenting, the hard conversations and the ones that make you laugh. There's no limit on topics because there shouldn't be. This is a place for real conversation, and we want it to continue — online, in person, wherever you are.

Pull up a seat. We're just getting started.
