When Karen Hewitt first met Steve Feld, she thought he was a complete jerk. Steve, on the other hand, thought Karen was the “crazy lady” who brought a baby to a business meeting. Their first ten encounters were rocky at best. Yet today, they run a business together, co-host this podcast, and proudly call each other business besties.

In this episode of The Tea and Coffee Hub, Karen and Steve share the unfiltered story of how their relationship transformed from eye rolls and frustration to respect, accountability, and true partnership. Listeners will hear:
