In this episode of Be Awesome Together, Charles and Tyra prove that surfing the chaos is the best way to co-create. From technical hiccups and Taylor Swift jokes to heartfelt stories of partnerships, breakups, and the magic of collaboration, this conversation is equal parts entertaining and educational. You’ll learn how to balance creative vision, handle conflict with honesty, and set boundaries that keep partnerships strong—without needing a pod-divorce. Whether you’re a podcaster, content creator, or just someone trying to collaborate better, this episode shows that creating together can be more powerful (and more fun) than going it alone.
Clear communication is everything – Honest conversations about goals, boundaries, and expectations can prevent conflict before it starts.
Have the hard talks early – Discuss ownership, legal agreements, and what happens if one partner wants out before the project takes off.
Balance shared and solo creativity – Don’t lose your personal voice inside the partnership. Your individual growth makes the team stronger.
Find the magic in synergy – The right co-creator pushes you to do things you couldn’t (or wouldn’t) do alone, creating something bigger than the sum of its parts.
"When you find somebody who makes you better, who challenges you, and who’s willing to play their role in the moment—you become something bigger than what you are." — Charles
