Welcome to the TrepTECH podcast hosted by the lovely Airial Re’nal and her comedic sidekick Scott Doucet. TrepTECH is not just a business podcast, really, it’s a life podcast. Airial and Scott are both entrepreneurs who know your life becomes your business and vice versa. They discuss a myriad of topics some of which may be considered taboo and all of which are intended to see you succeed.

 

During this episode, our guests tackle a subject that is a source of pain and frustration for many entrepreneurs, freelancers, and artists of different types: unsupportive partners. Airial shares a personal story about a partner’s complaints about her being in business. Scott makes a great point: Do you/they love what you/they are doing? Are you/they miserable? Do we need a cheerleader and support system from our spouses/partners?

 

Common complaints:

 

• This is taking up all your time
• You’re never here
• You’re here but you’re not here
• You don’t go to bed when I go to bed
• You’re up too late at night/up too early/ - sleep too much/too little
• Bills/household needs
• Attention

 

Pointers:

• Figure out what support looks like to you!
• • Write it down
  • If you don't know what you want, we can expect our partners to fulfill that
• Do you actually need support from your spouse?
• • Can you get this from someone else
  • • Team?
    • Business partner?
    • Friend?
• What’s your track record?
• • Tried starting a million businesses, never got them off the ground? Your wife Shouldn’t support you.
  • Want-trepreneur
  • Boy that cried wolf
