22: Peter & Lydia Mehit of Custom Business Planning and Solutions

A little about our guests. Peter and Lydia have been together for 19 years and in business together 11 years. They have 2 adult daughters ages 35 and 26. Peter & Lydia’s oldest daughter is a part of their business. They are married but still shacking up (listen to the show if you want to know what that means). They are still passionately in love and working together just adds to the fun. A little about their business.Peter has been involved in the startup of a number of companies as a member of the launch team or an owner/team leader. But he travelled too much. Lydia’s background is in computer operations, software development, and in the management of software projects. She then became the co-founder and managing partner of her own consulting firm with clients such as Ford Motor Company and General Motors. One piece of advice (the nutshell version)Always fight fair. Words like “never,” “always,” and starting a sentence with “you are” is not fighting fair. If you can’t fight fair, step away until you can. Never start a conversation with “You.” Communicate how you feel.
