1. How to find and follow your purpose
2. The value of silence

Alyssa left her career as a Dentist to pursue the startup life with her husband (I'll give you a moment to wrap your head around that sentence).

On top of covering the obvious - how to build a business with your spouse without becoming a murder suspect - we talk about leaving a lucrative job to pursue your purpose, and time management strategies Alyssa loves.
