105 Partnership

105 Partnership

Author: Jennifer Barcelos and Sandy Connery November 7, 2018 Duration: 29:09
In this episode, we share some previously unshared details about our business partnership... How we met. How we work together. The pitfalls. The benefits. We also explore our opinions on different kinds of business relationships. What about partnering with an investor? Or a technical co-founder? What are the ways to work together without dividing up your company? We’re both organically drawn to work collaboratively, so partnership was an ideal business decision for both of us. Our business is like a shared child, and we trust each other to steward the company and serve as an equal decision maker. In our case, the whole is truly greater than the sum of the parts.

There’s a particular kind of ambition that isn’t just about scaling a business, but about building a life that feels whole and authentic along the way. That’s the space where Soulful MBA Podcast lives. Hosted by Jennifer Barcelos and Sandy Connery, this is a conversation between two friends who are actually doing it-navigating the messy, rewarding reality of creating a company from nothing. They talk through the logistics of remote partnership, the challenges of conscious online engagement, and the personal growth that happens when your work is deeply tied to your values. It feels less like a lecture and more like you’re overhearing a candid, strategic coffee chat between two people who’ve been there. You’ll find practical advice woven into stories of trial and error, all aimed at ambitious women who are done with the hustle-for-hustle’s-sake model. This podcast serves as both a roadmap and a reassurance, proving that a successful business can be built with intention, friendship, and a lot of soul.
