Today's episode is particularly close to my heart as I'm joined by Patty Aubery, not just my business partner for more than 30 years, but she's also one of my very closest friends in life. 

She's the President of the Canfield Training Group. She went from being my personal assistant more than 30 years ago, to President of Chicken Soup for the Soul Enterprises. She oversaw the production and marketing of more than 150 Chicken Soup for the Soul Books, which have been translated into 50 plus languages.

She's also a multiple New York Times bestselling author in her own right, having co-authored 13 Chicken Soup for the Soul books, including Chicken Soup for the Expected Mother Soul, Chicken Soup for the Cancer Survivor’s Soul, and Chicken Soup for the Woman Golfer Soul, just to name a few, as well as her most recent book, which is entitled, Permission Granted, Discover How Life Changes When You Give Yourself Permission. 

Tune into this episode of The Jack Canfield Podcast where Patty and I dive into our 30-year journey. We’ll explore how embracing and appreciating each person’s unique qualities can be a game changer in any partnership whether it's a business relationship or a personal partnership. We'll share some of the challenges we faced, and how learning to value our differences has not only fueled our success, but also deepened our friendship.
