Key highlights on this episode include:
-
Culture is value alignment, and if value alignment is not in place then it’ll be very difficult to sustain any partnership
-
Why a major part in successful business partnerships (or any partnership really) is to play the infinity game – have the conversation keep going and avoid a finite way of thinking
-
Why Activator is Brandon’s most prominent strength and how he plays to that in both business and life
-
Why focusing on what’s “wrong” with our children doesn’t just impact in the moment but also has a lifelong ripple effect in the way they feel about themselves.
