Join our host, Queen of To Do's Kate Ginsberg, as she welcomes entrepreneur, founder, and friend extraordinaire Michael Blackard of Friend'em.
They discuss the global loneliness epidemic, finding ease, making friends, platonic love, and breaking down the entrepreneurial facade.
“The people who are wildly successful with their friends all have one thing in common—they care about the other person. It’s not about keeping score; it’s about nurturing real, heartfelt connections.”
Michael Blackard is the visionary founder of Friend'em—a groundbreaking movement dedicated to helping adults forge genuine connections in a world grappling with loneliness. With roots in video game production, Michael transitioned from crafting digital worlds to building real-life communities, harnessing his creative background to tackle the global loneliness epidemic head-on. His passion for making life easier is evident in every aspect of Friend'em, from one-on-one coaching and free in-person workshops to his commitment to making meaningful social connections accessible for all.
Michael’s journey is defined by a candid embrace of vulnerability and authenticity. He champions the idea that being a good friend—both to others and to yourself—is essential for personal and professional success. Through his work, Michael not only challenges the status quo of how we approach relationships but also inspires entrepreneurs and everyday people alike to shed the pressure of perfection and simply “bear it all."
Kate Ginsberg is not just the founder and CEO of Queen of To Do—she's a trailblazer in the art of radical self-care through delegation. As the driving force behind Bearing It All, Kate brings a refreshing honesty to the entrepreneurial journey, proving that trying to do it all isn’t a badge of honor—it's a recipe for burnout.
Her journey is a testament to the belief that rest is not a luxury, but a necessity. Kate founded Queen of To Do on the understanding that when you give yourself permission to lean on expert help, you're not just lightening your load; you're reclaiming the ultimate luxury: time. Time to think, to create, and to live life fully.
Whether she’s sharing candid stories on Bearing It All or teaching her team of personal assistants about empowering clients to find balance, Kate shows that embracing delegation is the radical self-care move every entrepreneur deserves.
