In today’s episode, I sit down with Brian Sher to discuss collateral damage in business, navigating difficult personalities, and knowing when an opportunity is worth the discomfort. Brian shares how disputes between partners and clients can create unexpected consequences, requiring experience, judgment, and adaptability to manage. We talk about why younger professionals sometimes need to tolerate difficult environments to gain experience, relationships, and leverage, while still protecting their integrity. I also share why timing and risk tolerance should shape these decisions as our careers evolve. We close with the importance of forgiveness, accountability, strong relationships, and making thoughtful decisions when other people’s actions affect our lives.
