    The Mirror Test

    Send us Fan Mail If you had to answer one question after every hard call, what would it be? We keep coming back to a simple standard: can we look at ourselves in the mirror afterward. That “mirror test” shapes how we handle business ethics, friendships, marriage, parenting, and the messy middle where you are trying to grow but you are not sure you are doing it right. We talk about why real self-reflection is uncomfortable when it is honest, and why “you’ve changed” is not always an insult. Sometimes it is proof you are evolving, and sometimes it is a signal that someone preferred the old you because it was easier for them. We share what vulnerability looks like at home, how support works when mental health is part of the story, and why long-term love is built through intention, not autopilot. Then we tie it directly to entrepreneurship, sales, and leadership. The best operators we know ask more questions than they answer. Whether you are pitching an idea, serving a real estate client, hiring a coach, or choosing a business partner, curiosity is a competitive advantage and a trust builder. We break down accountability, how to admit mistakes without spiraling, and how to avoid taking on guilt that is not yours. We also share a personal real estate investing lesson about selling assets instead of refinancing, and what we learned about flexibility when life hits fast. If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with someone who is building something hard, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What part of your life needs a clearer mirror test right now?

    Intentional Parenting

    Send us Fan Mail We talk through the parenting principles that guide our home: intention, time spent, and consistent messaging grounded in respect. We share how those values show up in real-life hot topics like swearing, manners in public, screen time, and the different safety reality our daughter faces.  • parenting with intention instead of copying strict rule sets  • explaining the why so kids can build judgment  • prioritizing time spent as the antidote to screens as babysitters  • keeping consistency between parents to avoid mixed messages  • treating respect as a two-way street that must be earned and maintained  • our approach to swearing as social judgment not forbidden fruit  • being stricter about manners than about swear words  • handling girls’ clothing conversations through readiness and safety  • navigating screen time through check-ins and self-regulation  Thanks a lot for tuning in. Check in next time.

    The Long Game

    Send us Fan Mail We look back at the years when we’re building businesses, building assets, and building a family at the same time, with all the risk and uncertainty that comes with being self-employed. We talk about confidence, equality, trauma, and the long game of doing work we can be proud of while still showing up for each other and our kids.  • revisiting our early entrepreneurship path through music, real estate, and Calgary infills  • the energy of starting from scratch and the fear of failing to provide  • learning the balance between bold risk and looking before we leap  • choosing integrity in a relationship-driven music industry  • unearned confidence, earned respect, and how gender shifts the playing field  • being underestimated as fuel and the pressure of perfectionism  • navigating infertility warnings, endometriosis, and a surprise pregnancy  • the planned C-section that turns into a terrifying birth moment  • building careers without a stable paycheck and why assets matter  • one parent in, one parent out and the cost of flexibility  • accepting good feedback, building self-belief, and staying open to hard truths  Please let us know the feedback if you're gonna be able to do that

    Two Feet In

    Send us Fan Mail We tell the real story of how we went from meeting as teenagers to choosing a life built on commitment, shared goals, and intentional decisions. We connect love, money, health, and entrepreneurship to show how our partnership grows through discomfort and big trade-offs.  • meeting at 13 or 14 and reconnecting years later  • the night we finally took the leap and the fast move from dating to serious commitment  • mental health challenges early on and how support works both ways  • moving to Penticton with no safety net to give the relationship a real chance  • the Vegas proposal story and what it revealed about us  • why we combine finances and treat assets as a team decision  • endometriosis, being dismissed, and learning to advocate for yourself  • bipolar diagnosis and the reality of living with mental health labels  • becoming comfortable being uncomfortable as partners and parents  • kids earlier than expected and surviving the no-sleep season  • the Calgary move, the Mexico near-move, and how one decision rewrites a life  • the camping question that sparked a pivot into music and bigger entrepreneurship

    Building A Life We Love

    Send us Fan Mail We start the podcast by sharing why we’ve been drawn to a work-from-home life where we build businesses, raise kids, and do marriage as a real partnership. We talk about the risks we’ve taken, the fears we still feel, and the habits that keep us learning without getting trapped by hustle culture.  • choosing entrepreneurship for control over our time and values  • what it means to live and work together nearly always  • lessons from high-risk bets and why real estate feels “safer” when done right  • parenting with open dialogue and treating kids as observant humans  • modeling ethics and leadership at home and at work  • dropping the 50-50 scoreboard and taking a long-term team view  • fear versus bravery and why “fearless” is the wrong goal  • why ideas are common and execution is the hard part  • telling your story, validating demand, and avoiding founder blind spots  • sales as listening, questions, and rapport rather than pitching  • “selling out,” money shame, and how relationships change with success  • rejecting hustle culture and building schedules that fit real bodies and minds  • balancing the cost of success with sustainable health and happiness  We'd love to know what you guys think. And if this is of interest to you, any topics you'd like us to explore, we would love to hear from you.
