Welcome to Season 3!! I can't believe it's finally here. I haven't been the best about posting these consistently but I'll do better with this season. To be honest, getting business entrepreneurs on the line is super difficult. Everyone's schedules are crazy so finding a time that works has proven to be harder than I think (unless this becomes a full time gig!). I think in Season 3 you can expect to see a lot more of Derek on the show and talking about our lives as we grow in our marriage. He provides good perspective and of course everyone loves him. You can also still expect fabulous entrepreneurs to be on the show telling us about their businesses and how they got started. For this episode, we started simple and did a little wedding recap! We also talked about what the first month of marriage has looked like and what we are prepping for in the future. No major news but it's a great listen if you want to hear about things we're thinking about as newlyweds! So grab your tea, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! Hosted on Acast.
