I've long believed that relationships go bad with misaligned expectations. I've known Peter Winick for several years. More recently, I've met his partner Bill and Jessica and other members of the team, and I think the best way I can describe my work with them is that Peter quickly gets to know you. More importantly, understands what makes you tick, understands what your priorities are, understands that, that in my case, This idea, these concepts have been my baby for a number of years, and it's really hard to go from being a sole practitioner and the steward of birthing this idea and raising it and growing it and really working hard to build a brand and deliver value to customers to now letting go. But I think part of that professional maturity, part of that growth opportunity, is to surround yourself with people who elevate your game, who raise the bar on what you do and how you do it. In a recent prospective client meeting, Bill and Peter and I were there, and they, you know, we did some briefing in advance, and their suggestion was, you be the content expert, you be the founder, you let us put you on a pedestal, and you kind of play that role. Let us kind of take the enterprise opportunity and really run with it. And again, at first you have this enormous amount of trepidation for doing something like that because you're used to going in and Doing all the work yourself. And, and I was, I was cautiously optimistic, especially for that first meeting, and it turned out great. So if referrals and recommendations are testimony to your experience with someone, so far I can't recommend Peter and Bill more so as partners, as real partners to help you take your ideas, to help take your perspective, and really help create that scale. I learned several years ago that I can't be scalable. So if I want my ideas to be heard, a partnership with Thought Leadership Leverage, Peter, Bill, and team is really a great opportunity to do just that.
