Turn Your Relationship Into Rocketfuel For Your Business – Meredith MacKay & Craig Bennett

from Connected Leaders Academy

Connected Leaders Academy What’s the secret to crushing it in business and having a marriage that doesn’t just survive—but thrives? Spoiler: it’s not splitting everything 50/50 or keeping score of who emptied the dishwasher last. (Seriously, stop doing that.) In this fun, fast-paced, and some might say, unconventional talk, Meredith & Craig will share how they turned their own marriage into the ultimate superpower for their life and business. As marriage coaches for entrepreneurs, they know firsthand that when your relationship is clicking, you’re unstoppable. But when it’s not? It’s like trying to run a marathon with a pebble in your shoe—and that pebble is also on fire. The key? Stop treating your marriage like a business transaction (or worse, a competition) and start treating it like what it really is: a team sport. Through relatable stories, practical wisdom, and humor, you’ll learn about the 200% marriage —a simple mindset shift that turns you and your partner into teammates working toward the same big, audacious goals. You’ll also discover the 5 commitments all great teammates make, like how to communicate without turning every discussion into a debate, how to resolve conflict without needing a referee, and—most importantly—how to have fun together (because marriage without laughter is just a reallllllllly long meeting). By the end of this talk, you’ll walk away with: · A new way of looking at your marriage that’s equal parts inspiring and achievable. · Tools to handle the hard stuff, laugh through the awkward stuff, and build something amazing together. · Permission to stop keeping score and start actually winning in life. If you’re ready to create a marriage so solid it fuels your business, your dreams, and your life—this is your playbook. Let’s build your 200% marriage…and have a blast doing it! Meredith & Craig former corporate ninjas turned rockstar entrepreneurs, left behind the unfulfilling 9-5 corporate grind when the company they both worked for closed their office and wanted them to move across the country. Harnessing their secret weapon – their rock-solid marriage – these adventure-seeking nomads help couples reignite joy, fun, and connection so they can transform their relationship into their secret weapon for building extraordinary lives together. As coaches, authors, international speakers, and co-hosts of the Road of Life Podcast, they bring a unique and authentic mix of humor, empathy, and a dash of tough love to take relationships from surviving to thriving, having a whole lot of fun in the process. Unconventional but effective, they get no greater joy than watching their clients reconnect, become a true team and crush life together.

Solving for Change MOBIA Technology Innovations Solving for Change welcomes business and technology leaders to share stories of bold business transformation within complex organizations. In an era when technology and markets are changing around businesses, the key to staying competitive is to evolve in response to those changes.  MOBIA’s Mike Reeves and Marc LeBlanc investigate business transformation, deconstructing the challenges, ambitions, and market disruptions that drive companies to embark on transformation journeys, and exploring their unique approaches to achieving meaningful outcomes.  What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change?  Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in It's All Connected Ali Rodgers A self improvement podcast that teaches you how to guide yourself to your best life. Leading From All Sides Abbie Mirata Discover the various styles of leadership, from leading at the forefront to steering from behind, rising to the top or empowering from the bottom. We'll explore horizontal and vertical leadership, leading through your brand, and even leading in your most intimate relationships. Join me in engaging conversations with special guests who are leaders in their careers, communities, and families. Gain insights, perspectives, and invaluable lessons that challenge traditional notions of what it means to lead.
