We talk about what it's really like working as a married couple, why you don't get sick days anymore, and why health has to come first even when work never stops calling.We also look back at the success we had like the brand deals with companies like Honda, Perplexity AI, and COROS, growing to 350K+ followers, marathon training, meeting people we've admired for years, and even a spot on the Today Show.Now settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai. 💛New episodes every Monday at 7 am.
