In this episode…Working with a business partner can either be rewarding or disastrous. How can you navigate these relationships effectively and facilitate those uncomfortable conversations that can potentially save your business?
Healthcare marketer Kriste Goad collaborated harmoniously with her business partner for the first two years before the relationship deteriorated, and they no longer saw eye-to-eye. After joining EO and learning of other entrepreneurs’ similar experiences, she realized she had to break off the partnership — despite her partner’s role in growing the company. In the aftermath, Kriste experienced 100% employee turnover, but she maintains that you can pivot and rebuild your company by reiterating your core values and having radically transparent and honest conversations with future partners and team members.
Welcome back to another episode of The Decision, where Robert Hartline and Eric Jackson interview Kriste Goad, the Founder of fuoco, about how she rebuilt after a failed business partnership. Kriste talks about the early days of her company, her experience as a young reporter in Nashville, and her inspiration to become a marketer.
