In this episode of First Round’s On Me, it’s just Joe and Hannah — diving into friendships, vulnerability, spontaneity, and why saying “yes” might be the most powerful habit you can build in New York City.

They talk about male friendships and why affection and vulnerability can feel taboo for men — and how that shifts as you grow older. What makes a friendship real? How do relationships evolve when you get married, have kids, or move cities?

Then the conversation turns to something that’s shaped Joe’s entire life and career: the power of saying yes. From spontaneous nights in New York to investor meetings that changed the trajectory of FROME, they break down how some of the biggest moments in life come from leaning into discomfort instead of avoiding it.

They also draft the ultimate NYC night out, debate old fashioneds vs tequila, and play a rapid-fire “Say Yes or Say No” game inspired by life in the city.

This episode is reflective, funny, and a reminder that the best things in life rarely happen when you stay home.
