  • Why Having Our Personal Finances in Order Has Been Game-Changing for Our Business - Episode 15

    Send us Fan Mail

    We spent much of our early twenties getting our finances in order - sticking to a budget, paying off our debt, growing an emergency fund, and all that work set us up to be able to become full-time entrepreneurs with confidence. We have built the behavioral habits to manage our money well and the tangible assets to protect us during economic downturns (like maybe, I don't know...a pandemic!) This is not every entrepreneur's story, but it's our story, and we want to tell it to you!

  • The Trip Where Everything Went Wrong - Episode 14

    Send us Fan Mail

    If you're missing travel as much as we are during this pandemic, take a stroll down memory lane with us as we reminisce about our 2-week trip to Italy and Greece in 2018. It was simultaneously an incredible experience and an almost comical series of unfortunate events! We dealt with every travel delay/cancellation/change in the book from planes to trains to automobiles to boats to ATV's and everything in between. Have a laugh and hear about what we learned and how we were able to still make incredible memories!

  • Real Small Business Owners of COVID-19 - Episode 12

    Send us Fan Mail

    We're getting real about what it's like to navigate a small business through this crazy time. The economy has come to a screeching halt, and here in Michigan, we've been living in quarantine for about 7 weeks now with a few left to go (at least). Running a business during this time is scary and stressful, but there have been some great silver linings, too. We want to share a glimpse into the struggle while we're knee-deep in the muck. Maybe you can relate, maybe you can gain some perspective...or maybe you just need a little company for your misery.
