Road of Life Podcast Episode 107

Want a marriage that feels as successful as your business? Then you need to start having Weekly Team Meetings with your spouse.

We know what you're thinking: "That sounds like the least sexy thing imaginable." We get it! But trust us, getting aligned on the "big rocks" in your life is the foundation for a relationship that feels seen, heard, and deeply connected.

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the one intentional practice that has been a game-changer for us and our private coaching clients. We’re sharing exactly what to talk about, how to structure the time, and the most important question you need to ask your partner every single week to feel more loved.

Listen in to discover:

📅 The Must-Cover Agenda: Get aligned on calendars, business stuff, health, personal stuff, family stuff and everything in between to prevent high-emotion, unproductive conversations later.

🏆 Celebrate the Wins: Use this time to look back and appreciate where you showed up as a team and achieved "big wins" in the last week.

🧭 Find Your North Star: Connect on big goals and dreams, and figure out what support you both need to advance the different "buckets" of your life (health, family, business, etc.).

❤️ The Secret Sauce: The one question that wraps up every meeting and guarantees you’re focused on making each other feel loved.

🚧 The Beginner's Trap: Why these meetings will feel "awkward and uncomfortable" at first, and our simple advice for pushing past the friction so you don't trade "short-term discomfort for long-term dysfunction".

This is about being proactive, not reactive. Dedicate just 60 minutes a week to build empathy, trust, and connection. Stick with it, and in a few months, you'll be blown away at the progress of your team.

✔️ How corporate culture created a “trust recession” (and how to fix it at home).

✔️ The brutally honest quote that exposes self-deception: “Words are who you want to be…”
