How We Manage 30+ Short-Term Rentals, 2 Kids Under 5, and Actually Like Each Other

Most couples can't work together without wanting to kill each other. Add two kids under five, 30+ properties across multiple states, and a seven-figure business to the mix, and you've got a recipe for disaster.Except it's not.In this episode, Michael and Liz pull back the curtain on how they actually make it work. Not the Instagram highlight reel. The real stuff. The 2:30 AM wake-ups, the fights they avoided by hiring smart, the one rule that's saved their marriage, and why making more money solved more problems than therapy ever could.We break down:The one non-negotiable rule about how they talk about each other (in public and private) that's kept their partnership strongWhy "you can't manage what you can't measure" applies to marriage just as much as business, and the KPIs they actually trackHow they built the business before kids and why that timing gave them an unfair advantage when babies arrivedThe delegation framework that works for both business and home (virtual assistants, cleaners, postpartum nannies, and why there's no pride in doing dishes)Why Liz was pregnant for 12 of the last 60 months and how they structured support during postpartum recovery (hint: it wasn't just "tough it out")The mindset shift from "no one can do it like me" to trusting a global team of 20+ people they've never met in personHow making more money isn't about working more, it's about hiring out everything you're not good at or don't want to doWhy working with your spouse means no operating agreements, no distribution fights, no tax headaches, just two people rowing in the same directionThe transferable strengths they've borrowed from each other (EQ, design thinking, analytical skills) and how they've covered each other's weaknessesBeing married and working together is either your biggest asset or your biggest liability. The difference comes down to alignment, delegation, and one critical rule about how you treat each other when things get hard.LEARN MY STR INVESTING & STRATEGIES 🔥 https://strlikethebest.com/wealthpodApply to work with Michael: https://strlikethebest.com/applypodFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelchangbnbTrack your STR hours the right way.
