Sean & Kristen Shea - The Husband & Wife Business

Sean and Kristen Shea built a business together. Kristen is the brains. Sean is the muscle. And they turn their house into a nightly Christmas show every year. In this episode, Sean and Kristen walk us through what it actually takes to build a business with your spouse, work out of your house, and stay sane doing both. They split roles cleanly: Kristen runs strategy, Sean runs execution. It works because the lanes are clear. The home-office angle is the part most husband-and-wife teams get wrong. Sean and Kristen talk through the upside (cost, control, time together) and the downside (boundaries, switching modes, never closing the laptop). The unfiltered version of what working out of your home with your spouse and partner is really like. Then there's the Christmas thing. They don't just decorate. They start months in advance and host nightly shows during the season. The kind of operation that has its own production schedule. Listen for what that obsession reveals about how they work together everywhere else. If you run a business with your spouse, want to, or have ever wondered how the couples who do it well actually pull it off, this is the conversation.
