On today’s episode, we try to answer one simple question
Should you collaborate with your competition? Or protect your trade secrets?
Entrepreneurs have strong opinions when it comes to this polarizing question. And I’ve heard the case made for both sides 100 times.
Many claim it's unwise to share your trade secrets or fraternize with the enemy in any way.
Others say “there’s more than enough work for everyone” and that connecting with other contractors is the fastest way to compress learning curves and raise the bar for the industry.
