Über diesen Titel

 Collaboration isn’t a soft skill. It’s a growth strategy.


In this episode of the B-Student Podcast, Betsy sits down with Jill Vaughan, President & CEO of the Downtown Orlando Partnership, for a powerful conversation about partnership, leadership, and why choosing collaboration over competition changes everything.

What begins as a discussion about working across organizations becomes a masterclass in playing the long game, building trust, and creating exponential impact without duplicating effort. Jill shares how intentional partnerships helped fuel the revitalization of Downtown Orlando and why saying “yes and” instead of guarding territory leads to stronger businesses, stronger nonprofits, and stronger communities.

In this episode, we explore:
  • Why collaboration is a smarter strategy than competition
  • How partnerships help you scale without burning out
  • Letting go of credit and focusing on collective impact
  • Playing the long game in business and relationships
  • Why mentorship, presence, and trust matter more than ever
  • How to identify partnership opportunities hiding in plain sight
  • Downtown revitalization, place-making, and community leadership
  • Turning disruption into opportunity after COVID
You’ll also hear about the newly announced partnership between the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Orlando Partnership, designed to give small businesses and nonprofits expanded reach, visibility, and SEO value across Central Florida.
