  • 86: Craig & Meredith Bennett - A Marriage Story of Success from Corporate to Entrepreneur Connections

    Welcome back ROCK MOVERS! 

    In today’s conversation, Meredith and Craig Bennet join Coach Karen and share their journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship, emphasizing the importance of personal growth, self-love, and strong relationships. They discuss the challenges they faced in their marriage while navigating career changes and how they transformed their experiences into a mission to help other couples strengthen their relationships. This powerhouse couple advocates for a 200% marriage, where both partners take full responsibility for the relationship, fostering a supportive and thriving partnership.

    WHO ARE MEREDITH AND CRAIG BENNETT? 

    This couple left the 9-5 corporate grind together, to become full time entrepreneurs.

    ...and had no idea what they were doing. But they knew they were unhappy and unfulfilled in their corporate careers and that life is just too short to live that way, so they decided to make a massive change. Through the journey, they developed a growth mindset, and grew exponentially as individuals. They built businesses (most of which they say sucked). They got in the best shape of their lives in their forties...and did all of it while strengthening their marriage and making it bulletproof.


    Takeaways from Today’s Show

    • The journey of leaving corporate life can be daunting but rewarding.

    • Navigating relationship challenges requires open communication and vulnerability.
