Rachel and Danella join us in our show today because they know how to make it work even when the business is not working. They share with us how their friendship was strengthened by these challenges, as well as how, because of their friendship, they've found each other working together again.
About this episode
In today's episode, I'm delighted to share that I have two amazing ladies from the Philippines, Rachel Kelly Davis and Danella Yaptinchay. In the eight years they've known each other as co-founders, co-workers, and most importantly, friends, they know a thing or two on what it takes to work with each other.
We've all heard the advice that we shouldn't start a business with a friend. As we've seen in our episodes, that advice is a myth. One of the things we want everyone to walk away with when listening to Chief Best Friends, is that not all advice applies to us and our relationships. Similarly, we aren't here to preach that you should start a business with a friend but that it is possible. And for some of us, like Rachel and Danella, this works for them.
