As venue owners, we are constantly thinking about how we run our venue. But we might not think that much about WHO we run that venue with. If you’re a single owner or your run your venue with a spouse, you can probably make some pretty independent decisions and keep things moving forward. But what if you run a venue with a partner who is not your spouse? How does that change what you do and how you do it when there is more than one voice that needs to be heard? That, my friends, is the topic of this week’s show!
