Get ready for an extraordinary episode as I am thrilled to be joined by a very special guest today—my husband, Chris! In this captivating conversation, we delve into the dynamics of our marriage and business partnership, sharing insights into our similar upbringing, finding balance between personal and professional lives, and much more. 

As children of divorced parents, Chris and I explore how our pasts have shaped us and influenced our approach to marriage, parenthood and entrepreneurship. We uncover the strategies we've employed to strike a harmonious balance yet open to the craziness life can throw between our personal and professional lives. From prioritizing quality time with our kids to managing our business responsibilities, we share practical advice for those juggling parenting and entrepreneurship. Chris emphasizes the significance of prioritizing what truly matters and making time for what's important to us. He has always been better at “turning off” business at the end of the day than me. 

Here on the show we focus on both business and health and how the two can collaborate and this episode brings marriage and working with your spouse into the equation. With Chris & I working long hours in our commercial general contracting business, we dive into the importance of efficiency and sustainable practices for long-term success. Discover Chris's personal strategies for staying physically healthy and the profound impact it has on his overall well-being and business success. Brace yourself for this candid and enlightening conversation we share with you in hopes it will leave you inspired and eager to apply these insights to your own life and business.
