Doing Business with Friends - The Good & The Bad, with Steph Land
Working with friends can be a transformative experience, but it's important to know both the good and the bad parts.
On the bright side, collaborating with friends brings boundless creativity and a shared passion and as they say, two heads are better than one. The energy is contagious and the support, unwavering. It's like dancing to the same beat, synchronized and in perfect harmony.
Yet, it's crucial to be aware of the challenges too. Mixing business and friendship can sometimes blur lines and create conflicts. It's important to establish clear roles and communicate openly to avoid misunderstandings. But with the right approach, these challenges can become opportunities for growth and deeper connections.
Our guest on today’s episode is none other than Steph Land who is the manager for Future Exit, Freaky and Pierce just to name a few. And not only has she managed such impressive talent but she has experience in both starting her own business, Subtle but True, as well as working alongside Shay Behboodi (Previous Guest) at their company Left Brain Entertainment.
Today she shares what it has been like to have her own business, business partners as well as clients and how she navigates blending the worlds of being friends with them while simultaneously keeping things professional when they need to be.
So, if you're ever in the position where your friends and your coworkers are one in the same, like we are most of the time in the music industry, use this episode as a guide to help you navigate through the inevitable challenges that will come up.
Thank you so much, enjoy the episode!
