The fastest way to lose a best friend is to start a business with them. Unless you do this. Sam and Lucas have been best friends for 25 years and business partners for 12 of them. They've built four companies together, made every mistake in the book, and somehow still hang out on weekends. In this episode, they pull back the curtain on the actual dynamic that keeps their partnership working — the fights, the fixes, the strengths that offset each other's weaknesses, and the hard-earned rules they've built over a decade of doing business with the person they're closest to on the planet. If you've ever thought about starting a business with a friend, family member, or spouse — this is the episode that could save your relationship and your business. 🏠 GET THE FREE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY: ⁠https://www.skool.com/relaunch/about⁠ 📖 In this episode you'll hear:✅ Why most business partnerships don't survive year 3 (and how to make it past that)✅ The exact strengths and weaknesses that make Sam and Lucas complement each other✅ Stories from the early days when everything nearly fell apart✅ The one rule they follow that has prevented 90% of their conflicts✅ How to know if you SHOULD even have a business partner at all✅ The red flags to look for BEFORE you sign anything✅ Why picking a partner is more important than picking a co-founder✅ What to do when you and your partner disagree on a major decision Most business advice on partnerships is written by people who've never had one.
