Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with Sam and Dee Taggart, the couple behind the Taggart Xperience and authors of Eat What You Kill, to talk about the real work behind building both a business and a marriage. We unpack how they navigate shared goals, set clear boundaries, and design a relationship where support doesn’t mean sacrifice. From co-parenting in a blended family to working together while honoring each other’s roles, they break down the mindset shift from compromise to intentional collaboration. If you’ve ever wondered how to grow with your partner without losing your identity, this conversation offers a lived-in, unfiltered perspective.
