So you want to partner with (company)
Having the incredible privilege of working with an amazing brand, I get a lot of people asking about partnerships of one kind or another. If you are considering approaching any company about a partnership, sales pitch, joint venture, etc, then I hope this will help you.
What fear really is…
I’ve developed a new relationship to fear.
The new Saturday Night Anthem
This song is amazing. It’s my new theme song for Saturday night. You can ride that Billy Jean baseline all night long. (A nod to Cara Fuggetta for finding it here).

The Two Kinds of Relationships
- Strong highs and lows
- Desire to analyze the situation constantly, and control the outcome
- Second guessing the other person
- Exciting
- Highly passionate
- Potential to learn a lot about yourself
- Triggers all your insecurities and deep fears
- Makes you question your own instincts
- Hard to deal with if one person wants it to become a partnership relationship (see below)
- Feels like your best friend
- Immediate comfort
- Total acceptance
- Very stable
- Great for taking on bigger challenges in life (kids, saving the world, etc)
- Support allows each person to live into their larger purpose
- Not as exciting as growth relationships
- Can be unhealthy and co-dependent if the partners are not stable in their individual lives.
- Tendency to settle into boredom without consciously creating new experiences
Art of the vision board
Why do a vision board? Why do anything? Because it’s fun…. if it’s not fun, you’re doing it wrong.
One school of thought says to find the images of everything you want and and place it on a board. I think that’s too boring. I like to mix in the process of simply grabbing a ton of magazines, flipping through them and ripping out any image that sticks out… for whatever reason.
The above is what I created. The below explains what I love about some of the images, once I thought about them…
There’s no one way to do a vision board. In fact, my friend Charles (my co-conspirator/co-founder of The Affinity Lab) has a different take. Check out his…
Whatever your desires, your goals, the things that keep you up at night, the ideas you want to make real, the irrational hungers, the imaginary friends, the future lovers, and the movie in your mind…
…get it out of your head and into the world.
The two dimensions of time
Okay, so here are the two dimensions or distinctions through which I think about time…
Time Expansion / CreationThe quality of our time is the most important factor. To increase the quality, first accept that the past exists as a fiction in your mind based on the stories you have created, and the future does not exist (by definition). Time spent in these two dimensions is usually time wasted because it is spent disengaged from real time and thus losing it or destroying it. Thus full presence is the most reliable technique of time expansion. Read The Power of NOW for a fast ramp-up.
Any experience that involves little learning should be eliminated or destroyed. On a small scale this includes very basic tasks that you could be outsourcing (hiring a cleaner or a chef). Many of these things are cheaper than you imagine. Read Four Hour Work Week for examples.
