What it's like building a business with your spouse: Entrepreneurship, Freedom & Extreme Ownership

What does it really take to build a business with your spouse and keep both the marriage and the mission intact? Ben and I pull back the curtain on three and a half years of grit and entrepreneurship, from working at the kitchen table to launching Grit Studios in our small mountain town. We talk about pressure, ownership, firing the wrong fits, finding the right ones, and why our culture is built on extreme ownership and high standards. If you are building something from scratch and wondering whether the weight you feel is normal, it is. This is the real story behind the growth.Topics we covered:• Designing a 2,000 sq ft studio• Training space plans and client experience on site• Entrepreneurship as freedom with responsibility• Building a team, internships, and role fit• Extreme ownership and culture of figuring it out• Incentives, sales mindset, and sustainable growth• Photography, video, podcasts, pro workflowsBuild Authority.
