Welcome to a truly special episode of The Leaky Bucket Podcast! 

In this milestone 50th episode, we have a unique treat for our listeners. Joining us today is none other than Sam, my wife and fellow director of MBS Accountants. We'll be offering a rare insight into our dynamics as both business partners and life partners.

• Balancing Business and Home Life: Sam and I discuss how we manage to maintain some degree of separation between our business and home lives despite spending a lot of time together. We share how we prioritise family time and strategic planning to keep things on track.
• Roles within the Company: Sam's role focuses on running the company smoothly, managing staff, and improving processes. On the other hand, my role centers around business development, networking, and generating connections to drive growth.
• Complementary Strengths: We reveal how we learned to recognise and embrace each other's strengths, helping us find a balanced approach to decision-making. The book Rocket Fuel played a key role in helping us understand our individual roles as a visionary and an integrator.
• Building a Successful Team: We talk about the challenges of hiring and creating a successful team. While it may be difficult at first, hiring the right people can help a business grow significantly.
• Blending Personal and Business Relationships: Working together as a couple has its challenges, but we've learned to pick our battles and respect each other's roles. Open communication and understanding have been crucial in maintaining a healthy balance.
• Season 4 Changes: We introduce the exciting changes coming in Season 4 of The Leaky Bucket Podcast. Each episode will now feature segments like "Leak of the Week," "Winner of the Week," "Buzz of the Week," "Pick of the Week," "Peek Behind the Curtain," and "Power Move."
• The Power Move: Sam will be joining me for the rest of Season 4, bringing her unique insights and perspective to explore various aspects of the company and its growth.

As we embark on this new journey together, we hope to provide you, our listeners, with valuable content and a deeper understanding of how we operate as business owners and as a couple. Stay tuned for more exciting episodes filled with practical tips and strategies for your business growth!
