Strategic partnerships can accelerate revenue, expand reach, and build credibility—or quietly drain your momentum.

In this episode of the Grow Business Podcast, Cory Mosley and Lon Graham break down when to say yes—and when to walk away.

In this episode:

• Why defining success is the first rule of sales leadership
• How to spot red flags before committing
• The difference between a partner and a dependent
• When profitability actually hurts profitability
• How to test partnerships before making permanent commitments

If it doesn’t accelerate growth, protect focus, and reduce risk—it’s not strategic.

The right partnership feels like leverage.

The wrong one feels like a second job.

What if the very thing that made you successful is now the biggest threat to your business?

In this episode of the Grow Business Podcast, Cory Mosley and Lon Graham get brutally honest about a silent killer in modern businesses: ego disguised as experience.

Markets don’t reward how long you’ve been around—they reward relevance. People don’t stop making money in a down economy… who’s making the money changes. And your best year? That’s not a strategy—it’s a memory.

We break down how past success can quietly turn into complacency, why defending your business blocks growth, and what leadership must look like heading into 2026.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why confidence turns dangerous when it becomes complacency
• How living off your “best year” holds your business hostage
• The real reason markets don’t care about experience anymore
• How ego-driven decisions sabotage growth (without you realizing it)
• What modern leadership actually requires in the 2026 economy

If your business can’t be questioned, it can’t be improved.

If your identity is the business, growth stalls.

And if you want to win next year, you’ll need to outgrow your ego first.

This episode is a must-listen for business owners, leaders, and executives with real P&L responsibility who want to stay relevant, resilient, and profitable—no matter what the economy does next.

🎧 Press play. Challenge your assumptions. Grow smarter.
