In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes from the jobs I dreaded in the early days to the moments that made it all worthwhile. Whether it’s cleaning bathrooms, facing shelves, or wrestling with pop nozzles, we all have our “I can’t wait to hand this off!” stories.

But business isn’t just about hard work; it’s about building memories, too. I talk with Shirley, Kim, and Tom about the creative ways we found time for vacations, hobbies, and spontaneous adventures. From snowmobile trips and boating at sunset to day-trips to Chicago and bargain-hunting in Tijuana, we managed to build traditions that kept us close and recharged for the journey ahead. We prove that you don't have to wait for the “perfect time” to have fun you just make it happen, even when business feels all-consuming.

If you’re walking that fine line between family and entrepreneurship, don’t forget: fun matters. I share why taking time off isn’t just a luxury, but a survival skill, one that keeps you, your team, and your family happy for the long haul. Hit play and let’s dive into the real-life stories and wisdom that will help you blend business success with a life you love. Let’s make sure we enjoy the ride together!
