In The Phipps of It

We start the podcast by sharing why we’ve been drawn to a work-from-home life where we build businesses, raise kids, and do marriage as a real partnership. We talk about the risks we’ve taken, the fears we still feel, and the habits that keep us learning without getting trapped by hustle culture. • choosing entrepreneurship for control over our time and values • what it means to live and work together nearly always • lessons from high-risk bets and why real estate feels “safer” when done right • parenting with open dialogue and treating kids as observant humans • modeling ethics and leadership at home and at work • dropping the 50-50 scoreboard and taking a long-term team view • fear versus bravery and why “fearless” is the wrong goal • why ideas are common and execution is the hard part • telling your story, validating demand, and avoiding founder blind spots • sales as listening, questions, and rapport rather than pitching • “selling out,” money shame, and how relationships change with success • rejecting hustle culture and building schedules that fit real bodies and minds • balancing the cost of success with sustainable health and happiness We'd love to know what you guys think. And if this is of interest to you, any topics you'd like us to explore, we would love to hear from you.
