Love is an action. So is support. If there is more talk of support instead actually supporting, then we aren’t there you.
When you’re looking for the right partnerships, why not look through the lens of love?
Love asks: Is there respect here?
Is there honesty?
Is there mutual investment and shared accountability?
Through this lens, partnership becomes more than alignment on paper, it becomes trust in practice. It looks like showing up consistently, valuing every player, sharing credit, and counting wins as ours. It’s transparency over performance, clarity over control, and collaboration over competition.
Love doesn’t require perfection, but it does require truth. It lays the cards on the table and builds on facts, not illusions. It feels steady, not transactional. Supportive, not conditional. When viewed this way, the right partnerships feel grounding rather than draining.
Looking through the lens of love means choosing relationships albeit personal, professional, and political, that honor who you are and what you’re building. It’s a builder’s mindset: practical, intentional, and rooted in respect.
And when love is the lens, you don’t have to force alignment, you simply recognize it.
Lastly, be careful who you partner with. All relationships aren’t destined to scale. If you find that others are scaling and your pocketbook is draining–this was a bad option. Some extremely talented people have aligned with some people that used them as a host and they have never been heard from again.
I like to think of Zerrubabel and the building of the second temple of Jerusalem. This was no ordinary call to action, this was a call that would wipe the transgressions of a nation and reap a huge blessing. Zerrubabel had a lot of people pulling on him. Alot of “relationships” but he had to know which ones were destined to scale. When it’s destined to scale the building process may be intimate but the rewards are for the masses.
That’s the goal for 2026.
