How to Choose a Partner in Business

This week on The Andrea Engstrom Show, my brilliant co-host Brenda Stroud and I will be diving into a topic every entrepreneur faces at some point: What do you look for in a business partner?

From clear communication and mutual respect to shared values like honesty, integrity, and a belief that everything is figureoutable—we're breaking it all down. Brenda and I are pulling back the curtain on how our partnerships have worked and how we both leaned into our strengths while being honest about our weaknesses.

Before you jump into business with someone, it's vital to observe how they work, communicate, and collaborate. We talk about the importance of doing small projects together first, spending time in real situations, and making sure you both have the same vision of what “a job well done” looks like.

Business partnerships should be built on trust, transparency, and the ability to problem-solve together. If you’ve been thinking about bringing someone into your business or teaming up on a project, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Tune in now and let’s talk real partnership!
