Join my wife Lauren and me for an open, honest conversation about the realities of entrepreneurship and marriage.
We sat down over coffee to talk about what building a business has been like for us as a couple and the resulting highs and lows of our relationship.
Lauren also shared her unique productivity system which is so different than mine.
