'The Only Ship That Sinks? A Partnership.'
Business partnerships can be your biggest asset - or your biggest risk. In this episode, Ben and Jack dive deep into what really makes (or breaks) a partnership. Whether you're already in one or thinking about joining forces with someone, this conversation is packed with insights you can’t afford to miss. They explore the power of clear, open communication and why unresolved issues often become the root of future conflict. You'll hear why documenting mistakes is crucial for growth, turning missteps into valuable lessons instead of repeated errors. They also unpack the dangers of complacency, especially in long-term partnerships, and explain how subtle shifts in mindset and operations can lead to significant, sustainable growth.
