Summary
Our name is Family Teams.
Everything we do revolves around that idea.
But sometimes, it's important to dive into what that PRACTICALLY looks like on a day to day basis as a busy family.
That's why we've invited Brent and Katie Kruithof onto the podcast to talk about build a family team.
They're our expert coaches inside the Family Teams Accelerator (link below...join us!), and they break down a little bit of what they're going to be teaching us on the inside this month, from basic team-building exercises that you can start TONIGHT, to navigating things like sports and intentionality as a family.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
0:59 Why Team Matters
3:24 Chants and Language That Works
6:31 Bonfires and Hot Tubs
9:54 Projects as a Family
13:27 Sports as a Family?

| 0:02.2 | But none of you would think it was weird if you saw a sports team doing it. |
| 0:05.3 | You know, grown men are getting around in a circle and they're doing all these chants. And you're like, yeah, that totally makes sense. But you see young children get together and do a chant with their family. Like, oh, that's weird. And what that just means, you guys very simply is that you don't believe family is a team. That's what it means. |
| 0:19.8 | Yeah. |
| 0:19.9 | And guess what? |
| 0:20.6 | Brett and Katie |
| 0:21.0 | think that their family |
| 0:21.7 | is a team. |
| 0:22.6 | So to them, |
| 0:23.6 | this completely |
| 0:24.3 | makes sense. |
| 0:24.8 | And that's why you have to begin by actually deciding if you want your family to be a team or not. |
| 0:32.9 | Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the podcast. We got a treat for you guys, return guests, Brent and Katie Krutoff. |

We're going to dive into some of the elements of this playbook because there are some amazing things here that I think will be super helpful for every family, especially if you're just in the very beginning stages of trying to figure out how to become a team. Why is team such an important part of the Khrutov culture? Gosh, let's see. We'll be married for 20 years this December. |
