Are You Building a Life or Just Feeding the Machine? | Ep63

Are you building a business that serves your family, or has your family started serving the business?In this episode of Yoked, Travis and Ingrid unpack one of the biggest tensions entrepreneurial couples face: ambition, pressure, money, faith, and family all competing for the same attention.
