This is 5 Minute Friday!

Today's guest, his name is Mr. Dale Partridge.

He's a good friend of mine that I connected with a little over almost a year ago now.

For those that don't know who Dale is, he is an entrepreneur who's launched 7 companies

and is most known for one of the companies called Sevenly and each week Sevenly partners

with one qualified non-profit and Sevenly donates $7 for every product sold to support

of the charity's cause.

You know, I started a couple of companies before this and been fired from my own company.

He's got through the ringer in many ways of learning about my leadership.

And I remember a mentor came up to me one day and said, can I talk to you?

And he took me in the other room and he said, you know, Dale, when you talk to people,

you hurt people.

And I remember thinking, like, whoa, and at the time I had like 42 employees.

And I was thinking like, I looked at my past and the history of the relationships that

I had and I saw a wake of destruction.

I mean, just of people that I had not cared for.

And I think that this might be one of the reasons that qualifies me to write this book

is because I struggle here, but I'm also winning here.

And you know, in this time at Sevenly, I had to really regain this trust.

And I mean, remember that the marketplace, you know, left to itself, it doesn't see

people.

You know, it sees pieces to a puzzle.
