They say never work with your friends, but we don’t agree with that. Over the years, HatchMark Studio has developed a reputation of being a team that is…a little close. Maybe too close at times. But what we’ve found is that working closely with friends can have a profound impact on workplace happiness and success.

Whether it’s bringing someone on the team you already trust or prioritizing an abundance of transparency throughout every layer of the business, working with friends or allowing yourself to get closer to your coworkers can ensure you’re always on a shared pathway to success. It can even enable you to take risks you wouldn't have otherwise taken knowing your bestie is there to back you up.

This latest episode of Practical Rebels takes a closer look at benefits of nurturing close relationships with coworkers and the potential drawbacks to look out for before they become a problem. We were in our feelings for this one, so you’ll want to tune in so we can share everything we’ve learned during our journey. Now streaming on all of your favorite platforms!
