Ever feel like you don’t know how to help a friend who’s clearly not okay? In this raw and ridiculous episode, Law Smith and Eric Readinger discuss Simon Sinek's concept of "just 8 minutes" — and how it might be enough to help someone feel less alone. ROI #487 is a caffeine-fueled ramble through fence building, family dynamics, empathy vs. sympathy, and the reality of adult friendships. Expect real talk, wild tangents, and a dose of actionable insights on why checking in (even briefly) can have huge impact. No fluff. Just ROI: where comedy and business collide like a stubborn post hole digger. ROI Podcast™ Ep. 487 — A business-meets-comedy look at helping people without burning out yourself. Law Smith and Eric Readinger get real about:
  • The underrated impact of an 8-minute call
  • How to audit your relationships and set boundaries
  • Why multitasking is nonsense (and what to do instead)
  • Energy vampires and other real-life struggles
  • mental health podcast, ROI Podcast, Simon Sinek, friendship tips, business podcast with humor, personal development, emotional intelligence, men and empathy

  • Simon Sinek’s 8-minute connection rule
  • Why relationships need ROI too
