In todays episode, Savannah and I share about how we have had some conversations recently that have given us a lot of clarity in our marriage and how to move forward chasing our dreams. In the beginning it's easy to just say what sounds good to please your spouse and get to an end result that you both want, but that isn't always the best option. Wants, needs, and situations change and it's very important that you both acknowledge that and are able to be open with each other so that you stay on the same page and don't end up in a nasty cycle leading to burnout and frustration with one another. Support the Show.

In todays episode Savannah and I sit down to discuss the differences in how we handle problems and areas we can both grow. We recently had an instance where I found out an employee was waiting to see how I handled a problem before he truly committed to working with us. This opened my eyes to the fact that it is so important how we correct and lead people through trials and mishaps. In a year where we are focusing on building a great team, it was refreshing to hear this and see where we have areas to grow and where we are currently succeeding. Support the Show.
