Can strong relationships really help your business grow? Kelly Gindlesperger says yes. She has built an entire career (and wrote a children’s book) on that belief.

In this episode of the Growth Department podcast, Chelsey sits down with Kelly, a partnerships leader at a fast-growing tech company, author, and all-around super-connector. They talk about how authentic partnerships fuel business growth, what most founders get wrong about collaboration, and why generosity is the ultimate growth strategy.

You’ll learn:

• How to grow your business through strategic partnerships
• Where to start if you’re a founder or startup with no dedicated partnerships lead
• How to vet potential tech or channel partners
• Red flags to watch for when collaborating with other companies
• How strong personal relationships shape Kelly’s parenting, leadership style, and career
• What writing a children’s book with her daughter taught her about creativity and meaningful work

If you’re a founder, business leader, partnerships manager, or someone who wants to grow by building real relationships, this episode is for you.
