In this episode, we explore:• Why hustle eventually stops working• How systems reduce burnout and create margin• Dividing roles based on strengths, not ego• Building businesses that don’t depend on constant presence• What kids actually learn by watching how you work --- If this conversation resonated, we invite you to go deeper.

    They went to bed believing they were set for life.They woke up with everything gone. In this episode, we sit down with Brent and Daniela Phillips, founders of Milk and Honey Ranch, to share one of the most honest and intense stories we’ve ever recorded. After selling a software company, Brent and Daniela thought the financial pressure was finally behind them. Overnight, the acquiring company collapsed, the stock cratered, and the security they trusted disappeared. As they worked to rebuild from nothing, life delivered another blow when Daniela was involved in a devastating car accident that nearly took her life. This conversation goes far beyond money or business. It’s about joy as leadership, staying emotionally grounded under extreme pressure, protecting your family when fear is loud, and what faith looks like when there are no clean answers. We talk about marriage under stress, parenting through trauma, rebuilding a business in survival mode, and how Milk and Honey Ranch was born in the middle of uncertainty, not clarity. If you’ve ever felt like the plan fell apart and you still had to lead anyway, this episode is for you.
