0:00.0	Howdy folks. Welcome back to the Now That We're a Family podcast. Today, Katie and I are going to be
0:04.1	discussing whether or not we think you should start a business and become an entrepreneur. For context,
0:09.4	Katie and I have a bias. We were both brought up by successful entrepreneurial fathers. We were from
0:14.9	large families. I was one of 10 children. Katie was the oldest of 11 children. Our mother's
0:20.2	homeschooled us and we were able to experience because of the hard work of both our mother and our father, a life that was very family-centric, and they were able to create a culture in our homes that induced a lot of fruitfulness in regards to Christian faith and Christian attributes.
