"What Is Cool, Really?"
In this candid and fiery episode of Our Friendly World, Fawn and Matt deconstruct the elusive concept of “cool” — from childhood memories of Snoopy’s Joe Cool to painful moments of judgment in adulthood. Fawn opens up about a recent voiceover experience that triggered old wounds from the photography world, where she was dismissed for not being “cool enough.” The conversation dives into how perceptions of coolness limit friendships, fuel imposter syndrome, and distort how we see ourselves and others. Matt shares his own vulnerable moment of thinking Fawn was "too cool" for him — and how love, presence, and humanity break through those false beliefs.
This is a raw, empowering episode that challenges societal norms, reclaims identity, and reminds us all that cool can't be defined — because authenticity is the real power.
