“This is an amazing and hopeful book. In part, packed with some incredible fly-on-the-wall stories of some of the world’s most inspiring leaders, and also a powerful rally call for us all to re-think our concepts of success beyond a narrow individual framework and integrate partnerships and community into the core of our daily personal and work lives. At a time when hope can seem a little thin on the ground, this is an absolute must-read.”

Jean Oelwang is remarkably gifted at building them—she’s worked closely with many of the most dynamic duos of our time. Her book is filled with uplifting stories and practical takeaways for building stronger partnerships.”

“I enjoyed the framing of this book, the idea that if you get everything right 1 + 1 = 1,000,000+. Diving into best practices for forming and sustaining partnerships is, with this framing, a worthwhile endeavour. I enjoyed the stories of great partnerships.”
