A brief conversational excerpt in which a speaker describes working in business with their spouse as a complementary "tag team" partnership. They emphasize the power of collaboration ("hive mind"), complementary roles (entrepreneur vs integrator), the importance of community, and the need to prioritize their marriage over the business through deliberate practices (e.g., date night).

You and your wife obviously being in business together, tag teaming still, what's it like to be on the inside of a tag team partnership where you're now helping people in the environment you help them in?
I see it as like almost like the hive mind. By doing it together, there's so much more power that happens when you're in community, when you're just trying to do it by yourself. She's smarter than me anyway. If something goes in more complex, I'm like, hey, I'm going to call in the cfp. She'll answer all this technical stuff. I'm more entrepreneur, she's more integrator. And you need both. And so I think that, that it allows us also, what we've learned a couple things, and we wrote a book on this as well, is we need to make sure that we aren't bully our business or our policies or whatever. And so we had to make sure that we have date night. And we do certain things that are important to our marriage because our marriage is first, above even the business.
