Scenario

When veteran business partners struggle with civilian communication styles

My business partner and I are both veterans trying to build a company together but we keep falling back into military communication patterns that worked in uniform but are killing our ability to have real conversations about money, equity, and what happens if this doesn't work. We're six months in and I can feel us both getting frustrated but neither of us knows how to talk about it without it feeling like we're questioning each other's competence.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people trained in institutional hierarchy are trying to navigate an equal partnership without the communication tools to address fundamental business tensions.
