WHAT HAPPENED TO MY NAVY SEAL BUSINESS PARTNER??? - Episode 184

In this episode, my former navy seal business partner Ben shares why and how we went our separate ways as business partners...
SV Parlay is a hurricane damaged Lagoon 450 catamaran, which Colin rebuilt with friends and has started sailing around the world. They found bulkhead damage on their catamaran in Panama, so have fixed her up, and are almost ready to cross the Pacific Ocean!!

    Dissolving a business partnership but still being mates speaks volumes for both of your character. That's awesome that Ben was so supportive, and sometimes even if it's not what the plan started out being you have to support awesomeness when you see it...

    I think most of us who watched from the start understand about Ben. And have seen you host him several times since you bought out his share. It's great that you two have such a good friendship to this day. Alot of times a business relationship can kill friendships. But I think Ben is always welcome on Parley and it's great he seen your potential and passion to create Parley Revival and share your journey with all of us.

If you have good friends that believe in keeping good you found a soul mate, guys don't talk about it nor hide what you need to hear from them. Protect your buddies, could be your kids, worker,biker or someone that helped along the way. Ben is one of them good paths you guys were on Keep it real..
