Free Guides for Partnerships

(Coming soon ⚒️)

I often get asked for help on the same topics spanning from landing a job in partnerships to building partner strategy for a 0 to 1 partner program launch.  I'm currently working on the guides below to help you learn the principles to drive success in each area. 

My goal is simple: I'm here to share my learnings from doing partnerships for the last 18 years and I want to save you time, help you drive growth and reduce your risk as much as possible. 

I also want to make sure you get incredibly high quality content from real world experience that will help you level up in partnerships. 

Once I'm finished with these guides, don't worry, you'll be one of the first to know if you've subscribed to my newsletter! 😀
