Building a business with your spouse? You're either building a weapon or building a divorce.

Most couples don't fall apart because they stopped loving each other. They fall apart because they stopped protecting the relationship while the business kept taking more.

In this episode, Mike and Rachael Novak share the five-rule operating system they live by to stay connected, stay aligned, and keep winning without burning the marriage down.

What you'll learn:

The non-negotiables that protect the marriage before the business model

Why every "yes" has a hidden "no" (and how to stop letting your calendar destroy you)

The difference between real growth and reactive chaos with a cute name

How to have hard conversations early so resentment never builds

Why seasons change but your standards shouldn't

Plus: Why "work-life balance" is a lie and what to aim for instead.

No fluff. No fantasies. Just rules that actually work.
