Scaling to $100 million requires more than hard work and great execution. It requires leverage.
In this episode of The $100M Entrepreneur Podcast, Brad explains why partnerships are one of the fastest and most effective ways to scale a business into new markets. He breaks down the different partnership models that high-growth companies use, including strategic alliances, joint ventures, affiliates, licensing, and franchising, and how each one helps you grow beyond a single team, location, or customer base.
Brad walks through the partnership models that help businesses expand faster, reduce risk, and enter new markets with leverage. Using real examples from ActionCOACH® and established brands like McDonald’s and Disney, Brad shows how borrowing trust, leveraging existing audiences, and sharing resources can speed up growth while lowering costs and risk. He also outlines the factors that make partnerships work, from aligned values and clear expectations to complementary strengths and clear agreements.
If you are looking for practical ways to expand your reach, enter new markets, and scale beyond yourself, this episode gives you a clear framework to start building the right partnerships.
