  • Building The Dream!

    Today on Business Marriage, we’ve been inspired by Rob Dyrdek and decided to build the dream in our lives!


    After our chat with Rob last week, we had a few hard conversations with a mirror to figure out what we actually want from life. It turns out, it’s really easy to figure out what you don’t want in life, but figuring out what DO want is quite a bit harder.


    From our dream house to our dream experiences, it’s a lot easier to daydream than to achieve those dreams - but we won’t let that stop us! We share our goals, aspirations, and lamentations in our lives, and hopefully we’ll actually stick to our targets for a change!


    Get involved with the show via https://www.businessmarriagepod.com/ or if you think Rob should take over the show, you can email us at [email protected]!


    In this episode you will hear: 

    • What do we actually want?
    • How Rob Dyrdek inspired us
    • What are we lacking in our lives?
    • Why we spend so much time dreaming
    • Will we ever let each other finish a sentence?

    • In case you missed it, you can listen to our chat with Rob Dyrdek here: https://youtu.be/QQTSSM2_UxY

    • What Happens When You Meet Your Heroes? Feat. Rob Dyrdek!

      Today on Business Marriage, James takes Hayley completely by surprise by inviting his hero, Rob Dyrdek, onto the podcast!


      In possibly our most emotional episode to date, Rob opens up about his desire to build an amazing life for himself rather than hitting specific targets. We talk about the value of gathering data and the sheer enormity of trying to be a better person.


      Hayley is a bit confused by the whole process, but James and Rob do their best to convince her of the benefits of tracking your life. We discuss quality of life, crunch some numbers, and do just a little bit of fanboying.


      Get involved with the show via https://www.businessmarriagepod.com/ or if you think James should retire from podcasting, you can email us at [email protected]!


      In this episode you will hear: 

      • Why did Rob agree to come on the show?
      • The power of consistency
      • Hayley wraps her head around life tracking
      • How you can make your family a tickbox (and that be a good thing!)
      • Will James be too starstruck to hold a conversation?

      • Staring Big Challenges In The Face

        In this episode of Business Marriage James and Hayley walk through the steps you need to take when staring big challenges in the face and making momentous decisions in your business and life.


        Get involved with the show via https://www.businessmarriagepod.com/


        Hayley is getting ready to onboard the first full-time member of her team, so the pair discuss the many challenges of growing a business and the key considerations you need to make when looking to hire staff. They also debate the importance of making sure you don’t lose your values as you start to grow and scale.


        As well as business, the duo also tackle the subject of how to tactically take steps towards beneficial outcomes when making key life decisions too. For example, when do you know you have found ‘the one’... or do you just blag it and hope for the best.


        And finally, they wrap up this week’s dose of LOLs and nonsense Hayley decides to test James’ decision-making skills as she puts him in the firing line of making choices in superhero situations!


        Plus there’s a 'Small Business Shoutout' to a brilliant small business that they love in the form of Roy’s Boys who made all James’s Father’s Day dreams come true recently - you can find them via https://roys-boys.com/

            • Talking To Our Younger Selves

              Today on Business Marriage we go back in time and give our younger selves a stern talking to and a good shake down.


              Going back through our history, we visit our 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 year old selves to give the hard-hitting advice to them… us… me? Either way, join us for an introspective journey into what we think of ourselves and the improvements we could have made.


              Ultimately there’s no point being too hard on the past, but there is a point in being hard on the present, which is why we’re giving out one of our worst mugs ever!


              The next best thing to going back in time is taking time off, and one of the best places we’ve taken time off is today’s Small Business Shoutout, The Grove in Hertfordshire: https://www.thegrove.co.uk/

              • What happened to deserve our worst mug ever…

              • Let's make some ch-ch-changes!

                In this episode of Business Marriage we lament on how everything changes - in business, in marriage, and in life, and how we find it an absolute nightmare.


                We always think about how easy things will be when we achieve our dreams… but all these changes keep getting in the way! We go over how things are changing in our lives and businesses, how disruptive these changes are, but also the opportunities they can create.


                We go over the support of our wonderful friends and family, and how we would react if we were recognised on the street. We also go over the changes we want to see in each other by bringing back a segment from a previous episode…


                During a recent family trip, we found the most delightful fish & chip shop in Bexhill, Marino’s Fish Restaurant! They don’t have a website, but check out their excellent reviews on TripAdvisor: https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g503756-d2718075-Reviews-Marinos_Fish_Restaurant-Bexhill_on_Sea_East_Sussex_England.html

                • Can ChatGPT Save Our Marriage?

                  In this episode of Business Marriage, we bring in a brand new co-host… an Artificial Intelligence-based voice that is going to use its robot super-computer brain to save our marriage!


                  We have been sick and tired of the amount of people banging on about the power of AI tech, especially ChatGPT in the last few months… it feels like every person and their dog is now an artificial intelligence expert, so this week on the pod we decided to test out how machine-learning can answer some tricky question around life, business, child-rearing and sex. And the results were a mixture of insightful, scarily accurate and just plain hilarious. 


                  Get involved with the show via https://www.businessmarriagepod.com/ or you can send us an AI generated email at [email protected]!


                  In this episode, you will hear: 

                  • What ChatGPT suggests you need to do in order to spice up your marriage 
                  • Why James and Hayley try to humanise their robot-assistant
                  • How it suggests you need to carefully consider dogging 
                  • ... and the super-computer even questions our moral compass of bribing the kids into doing as they are told!

                  • The Power Of Taking ACTION

                    In this episode of Business Marriage we discuss the power of taking action and aligning yourself with your goals.


                    We have a bit of a contrast in our marriage at the moment, Hayley has made great improvements through her actions recently, but James feels shackled - and not in a good way. To try and pick him up, Hayley tests James on her ACTION acronym, and James does about as well as you would expect.


                    In our endless struggle to talk about ourselves and our actions, we almost forget that listening is an action, but thankfully we’ve got vows for that. We also schedule our personal lives live on air, cover a few raunchy subjects, and call out both our friends and enemies alike! 


                    If you want to take more action to help the environment, why not get some refurbished tech from today’s Small Business Shoutout, Klyk: https://helloklyk.com/
