{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":".team Talks!","slug":"JanePOTT","podcastDescription":"

.team Talks! is a show for co‑founders who know the real risk to their startup is not the market, but the partnership.

Hosted by co‑founder, mentor and coach Jane Hales, this podcast blends narrative, real‑world conversations and practical tools drawn from her business fable and diagnostic toolkit, From Dream Team to Divorce? Preventing the Silent Sabotage that Destroys 65% of Startups.

Across interviews, solo episodes and case‑based breakdowns, you’ll explore:

The Aggression Escalation Model: Base (drift and avoidance), Mid (public misalignment and silos), and Peak (revisionist history, gaslighting and overwhelm)
The “Always Be Contracting” discipline, going beyond the Shareholders’ Agreement to continually renegotiate Relationships, Roles and Rewards
How to architect Shareholder Councils, Strategic Steers, Operational Pulses and Relationship Resets so your business has a place for every kind of conversation
Conflict tools like the Trust vs Drama Triangles, the Partner Hype Cycle and the Clearing Model, turning blow‑ups into breakthroughs rather than exits

Whether you’re a founder in trouble, an early‑stage team trying to avoid future carnage, or an advisor who sits between sparring partners, this podcast gives you language, frameworks and stories to keep your partnership – and your company – alive
