Eric Thomas and CJ join Earn Your Leisure to discuss the trust, loyalty, and leadership behind their 20-year business partnership. They break down managing ego, making tough decisions, and why sometimes you have to be #2 before you can become #1.

We explore why many Black business partnerships fall apart, how to resolve conflict without damaging relationships, and how to handle people who plant doubts about your success. Eric also shares how CJ changed his approach to investing and why he turned down a $10,000 speaking deal.

From marketing strategy to mentorship, this conversation reveals why working together can take you further than doing everything alone.

In We Is Greater Than Me, Dr. Eric Thomas and CJ Quinney Jr. show how the strongest leaders spread leadership across their whole team. The result is an organization that keeps winning without depending on one person at the top. It's a practical guide for anyone who leads people or works on a team and wants better results by putting the group ahead of the individual.
