Summary

What is it like to work with someone you’re already close to and have a personal relationship with? After several years of working with my husband John, you could say that I know a thing or two about working alongside someone you have a personal relationship with.

We talk about what it’s like to have a relationship outside of work and still go to work happy. You’ll hear our tips for making it work, our favorite things about working together, and how it all came about.
