Building a Business With Your Spouse Without Losing Your Mind — Kenny & Stacy Maggard

She thought it was total BS. Then they built a company together — and haven't looked back since. Kenny and Stacy Maggard turned a margarita-fueled conversation into Azalea Health Services, a mission-driven mental health company serving seniors in long-term care settings across Louisiana and Texas.Kenny Maggard spent 15 years as a middle market banker at Capital One before stepping into private equity and ultimately taking the leap into entrepreneurship. Stacy Maggard brought a background in marketing and public relations and traded in the stay-at-home season of life for a co-founder title she never expected — and wouldn't trade for anything. Together, they built Azalea Health Services from the ground up, embedding licensed professional counselors inside nursing homes, assisted living communities, and senior independent living facilities to meet residents exactly where they are — literally and figuratively. In just three years, they've served thousands of patients navigating grief, depression, anxiety, loneliness, and life transitions. Joining host Joshua Wilson is co-host Jude David, JD, DCL, MBA and Managing Partner at FA Mergers, who brings his signature depth to the conversation on mission, marriage, and building something that lasts. This episode is equal parts entrepreneurship, marriage, mission, and grit.🎯 What We Cover:How a banker and a stay-at-home mom stumbled into healthcare entrepreneurshipWhy Kenny chose a startup despite having zero interest in startupsThe management service agreement model that gave them a playbookHow Azalea Health Services brings mental health counseling into senior living facilitiesWhat it's really like to run a business with your spouse — the good, the hard, and the hilariousThe barbecue ministry story that became Kenny's north star for the businessScaling a healthcare company when your payer sources are Medicare and Medicare AdvantageHow they divide roles, navigate disagreements, and still like each otherWhat telehealth can and can't do for a geriatric patient populationThe shift in mindset that changed how Stacy thinks about money, calling, and purpose🤝 Connect with Kenny & Stacy Maggard: 🌐 https://azaleahealthservices.com/ 💼 https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenny-maggard-jr-89131a8/ 💼 https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacymaggard/🤝 Connect with Co-Host Jude David: 💼 https://www.linkedin.com/in/jude-david-jd-dcl-mba-172a6a76/💼 Thinking About a Transaction?
