In this episode of Grow or Die, I sit down with my CEO coach, Nickie Froiland, to dive into the importance of protecting momentum in business partnerships and the power of alignment and role clarity. We discuss strategies for sustaining growth, including establishing clear job roles, managing risk in partnerships, and having honest discussions about business goals. Nickie and I explore how decision-making and efficiency can make or break a team and the practical steps to ensure everyone remains on the same page.

This conversation offers valuable insights into the art of partnership dynamics, balancing assertiveness with collaboration, and the ways leaders can focus on what truly matters to create sustainable success.
