Today’s episode was a vulnerable one. Andrew and I have walked through some hard times in our marriage that, at the time, were honestly really rough. Looking back now, they have brought us so much closer together and we’re better for it. Today we’re sharing some of the hardest seasons of our marriage in hopes that it encourages anyone out there to feel less alone. NOBODY has a perfect marriage and the more open we can be with each other about the struggles, the more we can support each other to keep fighting the good fight. If you’re going through a hard time in marriage just remember, It’s never too late to ask for help or bring people in to walk with you through it.
Love you guys,
Shawn & Andrew

In this episode, we got to hang out with Sahil Bloom—entrepreneur, investor, author and all-around deep thinker—to chat about his new book, The 5 Types of Wealth. Spoiler alert: wealth isn’t just about money! Sahil breaks down the five types of wealth and shares why focusing on all of them (and not just your bank account) leads to a richer, more fulfilling life. If you’ve ever felt like you’re chasing success but missing the mark, this conversation will help you get back on track! Sahil is so inspiring and we love how open he is about his own personal struggles to get to where he is today. We hope this episode encourages you to wake up tomorrow and invest in what really matters! Love you guys!

Today we dove into a topic we’ve been talking a lot about ever since we became parents of three kids and that’s “pruning” in our lives. After we became a family of five we really had to sit down and figure out what was the best use of our time and take a look at our top priorities. We ended up having several things we knew we needed to cut out for the sake of the goals we have for our family, marriage and career. We’ve talked so much about this topic and we would love to hear if you can relate :) We hope this episode inspires you to re-evaluate what’s really important to you and align your time and energy with those priorities. We love you guys!
Love,
Shawn & Andrew
