Two Awesome People
Toxic Mom Groups, Business in Your 40s, & Why Exclusion Hurts
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On today’s episode of Two Awesome People, we cover three extremely important adult topics:
- Business in your 40s (spoiler: you’re not late — you’re right on time). Research suggests the average age of successful entrepreneurs is in the early-to-mid 40s, and older founders can have a real advantage.
- Toxic mom groups + being excluded — why it hits so hard (and why your brain treats social rejection a lot like physical pain).
- Don reads the wildly chaotic classic “Two Dead Boys” poem (dad folklore at its finest), and Kelly tries to recover.
- Group chat etiquette (a.k.a. Don Irish-goodbyes every text thread)
- And we close with Would You Rather: Animal Edition… featuring a “ladybug knees” fact we absolutely did not fact-check
If you’ve ever felt too old, left out, overwhelmed by group chats, or just need a laugh—this one’s for you.
