Today, I'm thrilled to be hanging out with my good friend Jeff Rose. We've been catching up, talking on the phone, but it's been way too long since we've been in the same room. So, it's time to remedy that!
We kick things off with some light-hearted banter about coffee flavors and unconventional biohacks involving nicotine pouches (definitely not an endorsement, folks!). But soon, we dive into a topic that's near and dear to our hearts – partnerships.
Jeff shares his honest feelings about partnerships, from the successes to the lingering challenges and PTSD-like effects from past ventures. I chime in with my own perspective, setting the stage for a deep exploration of the dynamics of business partnerships.
We share personal stories, from initial collaborations to equity negotiations and strategic partnerships, we lay it all out – the highs, lows, and complexities of partnering in business.
Amidst the laughter and banter, we touch on key themes like trust, communication, and aligning goals in partnerships. And of course, we delve into the unique challenges and rewards of partnering with spouses, drawing from our own marriages intertwined with business ventures.
This episode isn't just about business strategies; it's a candid exploration of the "fruits and traumas" that come with partnerships, offering valuable lessons and insights for entrepreneurs and anyone navigating collaborative ventures.
So settle in, and join Jeff and me on this engaging journey through the world of partnerships on the Shane Sams Show!

In today's show, we're diving into valuable insights shared by Shane Sams on public speaking and professional speaking gigs. Shane, an experienced speaker, offers five key tips for anyone gearing up for their first speaking engagement.
Arrive a Day Early: Shane emphasizes the importance of arriving at the speaking venue a day before the event. This allows speakers to familiarize themselves with the space, acclimate to the environment, and ensure they're well-rested for the big day. Shane shares personal anecdotes from his years of experience, highlighting the benefits of this approach.
Avoid Over-Rehearsing: While preparation is crucial, Shane advises against over-rehearsing. Instead of repeatedly reciting the entire speech, he suggests recording the talk, listening to it multiple times, and focusing on getting into the flow of the content. This method helps speakers avoid stressing out, preserve their voice, and maintain spontaneity during the actual presentation.
Plan Post-Talk Activities: One insightful tip Shane offers is to plan enjoyable activities after the speaking engagement. Whether it's exploring the city, having dinner with friends, or visiting local landmarks, having something to look forward to post-talk helps speakers relax and prevents them from obsessing over the presentation.
Manage Caffeine Intake: Shane discusses the impact of caffeine on nerves and advises speakers to limit their coffee intake on the day of the talk. By controlling caffeine consumption and allowing ample time before speaking, speakers can present themselves calmer and more composed on stage.
Arrive Early to the Venue: Lastly, Shane stresses the importance of arriving early at the speaking venue. Getting there ahead of time allows speakers to familiarize themselves with the space, visualize the audience, and mentally prepare for the presentation. Additionally, he shares a bonus tip about not putting on the speaking outfit until right before going on stage to avoid sweating.
By following these five tips, speakers can enhance their performance, manage pre-talk nerves, and deliver impactful presentations. Shane's insights, drawn from years of speaking experience, provide valuable guidance for anyone stepping into the world of public speaking.
