In this compelling episode, Lee-Ann Johnstone sits down with Richard Dennys, CEO of Game Lounge, for his second appearance on the podcast. Richard brings a unique perspective to partnership building, drawing parallels between his 30-year relationship, his passion for boating, and running a successful affiliate business with 60 live websites generating 15-20,000 new players monthly. This conversation goes beyond typical business advice, exploring the human elements that make partnerships truly successful in the affiliate marketing industry.
