How to Survive in Business With Your Partner

We've been in business together for 8 years, and married through all of it. In this episode we're pulling back the curtain on the stuff most couples never admit: the screaming matches, the money wars, the night in Bali that changed everything for us, and the health scare that nearly ended it all. Here's what we get into: The New Year's Eve in Bali, and the plant medicine trip, that broke down 4 years of distrust in a single conversation. "That's MY money" — the brutal money fight that nearly split us, and where it really came from. How we watched overwork turn into an autoimmune disease, until Steph woke up one morning unable to feel her own body. Too many chefs in the kitchen — why two alphas in one business is a recipe for disaster. The "girl boss" movement, the ego, and the quiet distrust it planted in our marriage. The jockey and the horse: the concept that changed how we pick what to build. Why giving your partner feedback can blow up your business, and the rules we live by now. If you're in business with your partner, or thinking about it, this is the episode for you.
