Summary

How do I get my spouse/significant other to understand and support the big dream I’m chasing?” This is the most asked question my wife Jenny and I get, so after a substantial amount of begging and pleading, I was able to convince her to join me in this very special Valentine’s Day episode.

We share everything 20 years of marriage has taught us about how you and your partner can be a team while you create and pursue projects together. Listen to our conversation to learn about how to balance the “wow” and the “how,” manage each other’s feelings, give constructive feedback to each other, and so much more!
