In this episode, Robby and I explore essential strategies for strengthening both business and personal relationships. We emphasize the importance of preparing for the "big five" challenges — death, disability, divorce, disagreement, and retirement — by having effective contingency plans in place. Drawing from the wisdom of mentor Marissa Nielsen and real-life examples, we underscore the value of trust, perseverance, and a supportive network when facing life's unpredictable challenges.

Listeners can expect practical advice on creating a resilient business structure and nurturing meaningful partnerships, ensuring stability and continuity in times of adversity.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Strategies for overcoming the "big five" challenges in business partnerships.
