That Friend Ain’t Your Friend | SZN 1 Ep. 1

Micah B kicks off the new season of Another Conversation with Micah B with none other than his best friend, Blake Martin. From the jump, this episode sets the tone — fun, honest, and rooted in real connection. The episode opens with two brand-new segments: Black Mt. Rushmore, where Micah B and Blake name their fashion icons who deserve a monument of their own, and This or That, a rapid-fire round that reveals way too much (in the best way). But it’s not all laughs. Micah B and Blake go deep on the realities of friendship — the good, the complicated, and the healing. They talk about communication, growth, and why conflict resolution is so necessary in friendships. For Micah B, it’s important to have these conversations out loud, because friendships deserve the same care, honesty, and repair as any other relationship. Whether you've had to navigate conflict with a close friend, question the depth of your group chat, or learn how to show up better — this episode is for you. 📲 Follow Micah B on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/itsmicahb [https://www.instagram.com/itsmicahb]https://www.instagram.com/acwithmicahb [https://www.instagram.com/acwithmicahb] 📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/@ACWithMicahB]anotherconversation
