Description

Business partnerships often start with excitement and big dreams—but most end in disappointment, conflict, or even lawsuits. In this episode of The Jeremy Hanson Podcast, Jeremy breaks down why 50–80% of business partnerships fail, why 70% collapse within five years, and the three biggest killers of partnerships: unequal workloads, money conflicts, and ego battles.


Through real stories, hard statistics, and brutally honest insights, Jeremy explains the myths vs. realities of partnerships, why they look good on paper but rarely work in practice, and what to do if you’re already in one. You’ll also hear practical strategies to protect yourself, clarify roles, use contracts the right way, and create an exit plan before problems arise.


Whether you’re an entrepreneur tempted to bring in a partner, or already stuck in a messy business relationship, this episode reveals what works, what doesn’t, and why going solo may actually give you the best odds of success.
