Friends on Purpose is a conversational podcast about the strange, funny, and surprisingly meaningful experience of being a person.
Through personal stories, curious questions, games, thought experiments, and plenty of tangents, Eric and Elaine explore the things that shape how we see ourselves and the world around us—from childhood memories, movies, humor, and friendship to identity, belonging, purpose, and the mysteries of being alive.
The show isn’t about giving advice or arriving at definitive answers. It’s about two friends taking ordinary subjects seriously enough to discover something unexpected in them, while never taking themselves too seriously along the way.
At its heart, Friends on Purpose is about life, love, and finding purpose—not by pretending to have it all figured out, but by being curious enough to keep talking about it.
