What does running a successful business as a married couple look like?

 

On this episode of Live Learn Lead our guests are Tova and Josh Matchett of Timeless Furniture. The motivation for their business came from a desire to create a higher level of freedom in their growing family, and they’ve learned a lot through their business journey—which has included a service pivot, a rebrand, the creation of their own upholstery academy, and a new location.

 

Topics discussed in this episode include:

  • How Josh and Tova feel about the work they do.
  • The three words that sum up the essence of Timeless Furniture as a business.
  • Why, as a married couple, they felt drawn to starting a business together.
  • Who Josh’s first customers were and what that experience taught him.
  • What happened when they decided to pivot and rebrand their business.
  • Their inspiration for starting their own furniture line and how it’s going now.
  • What it took to find the right talent in their industry.
  • The qualities they look for in right-fit team members and why it matters.
  • How they deal with those inevitably imperfect days in their business.
  • How being in business together has actually strengthened their relationship.
  • What advice they would give to couples who are starting a business together.
  • The personal mantras that help them in business and in life.
