Career Therapy Podcast e.6 - How to Use Your Time Wisely, with PartnerPortal.io Founder Eddie Patzsch
For Career Therapy Podcast #6, we welcome strategic growth specialist Eddie Patzsch to the podcast. Eddie is an expert salesman and the founder of ParterPortal.io, which allows customers to create a custom portal to track, manage, pay, educate and build relationships with new and existing partners. He’s also an avid traveler and a family man.
In our conversation, we touch on a ton of topics, with “finding time” to get it all done being the core focus. Eddie shares his perspective on taking risks, how to test, and how to grow, and he explains how he ended up in his current role coming from both the entertainment and hospitality industries (literally working as a bell-boy at a hotel). It’s a great episode with a lot of honest discussion. Dive in.
