In this episode, I take a personal look at the story behind Monkey Island Ventures and the unique business partnership I’ve built with my lifelong friends, Colin Hirdman and Zack Steven. We’ve been in business together since 2005, and our company’s name pays tribute to Monkey Island, a park from our childhood.
I share why our purpose is to “Build rich lives together,” and what that really means beyond financial success—richness in relationships, time, and shared experiences.
I also talk about why, despite common advice against it, going into business with friends has been one of the best decisions of my life.
If you’ve ever thought about partnering with friends or want to hear how we’ve made it work, tune in for the full story!
