Great topic, and nice to see someone covering magical partnerships (though not unexpected from you all). Most folks seem to think there’s only solitary and group practice. I started with a partner, moved to solitary (partner decided to be Christian again), and now work both in a group and on my own. Groups can be wonderful but, as you pointed out, require a lot of scheduling and compromise to work.
Can’t wait until the next podcast!
