Ep 413: If 1+1 Equals 2, You Chose the Wrong Partner

Most entrepreneurs think growth is about adding people. Add a partner. Add an employee. Add a tool. But if 1+1 equals 2, you did not create leverage. You created maintenance. In this episode, Michael explains why real growth requires multiplication, not addition. He breaks down how to evaluate business partners, employees, and romantic partners through the lens of exponential return. Then he introduces the MULTIPLY framework, a practical filter for identifying who truly accelerates your momentum and who simply occupies space. If you feel like you are working harder but not moving faster, this episode will challenge how you choose the people around you. Exponential growth is intentional. Multipliers are selected. ----- Frustrated with your government contracting journey?
