TBL Episode 145 - REPLAY: Why it's difficult to make a revenue sharing partnership work

We're revisiting some of our most popular and helpful podcasts from the last year. For this week, we are replaying episode 62. Everyone wants to grow their business. It's kind of the point of entrepreneurship. We're also always looking for easier ways to drive revenue for our businesses. If we're going to make more sales, why not take the easiest route possible?
