In this episode of Lead On Purpose, I sit down with my partner in life and business, Caroline, for a conversation we usually have off camera.
We look back on 2025 and reflect on what really went well, what didn’t, and the lessons we’ve learned from running a business together while building a life together.
We talk openly about growth, pressure, boundaries, clarity, and why success often looks very different behind the scenes than it does on the outside. We also share a personal update that we haven’t spoken about publicly before.
This episode is honest, reflective, and very real.
What we cover:
If you’re building something meaningful, navigating a relationship alongside ambition, or simply wanting to reflect before setting your next goals, this conversation will give you perspective, reassurance, and a few hard truths you might need to hear.
Here is the list of book recommendations:
Habits of High Performers – James Laughlin
Main Street Millionaire – Cody Sanchez
Unreasonable Hospitality – Will Guidara
The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho
Visualize – Maya Raichoora
The Untethered Soul – Michael A. Singer
Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself – Dr. Joe Dispenza
The Wealth Money Can’t Buy – Robin Sharma
Through Shifts and Shocks – Steve Vamos
The Psychology of Money – Morgan Housel
