In this deeply personal episode, Cliff steps aside and allows his wife Stephanie to take center stage. For once, the tables are turned, and we get an intimate glimpse into Stephanie's perspective on their incredible entrepreneurial journey.

Through Stephanie's eyes, we discover the unwavering faith and determination that has propelled them forward, even in the face of uncertainty. She reveals how her sense of security comes not from the financial details, but from the unshakable belief that things will work out, no matter what.

Stephanie's candor is refreshing as she shares how their business and personal lives have become seamlessly intertwined over the past 20 years. There is no separation - their family is their business, and their business is their family. This integration has not come without its challenges, but Stephanie eloquently describes how they have learned to communicate, compromise, and even occasionally "agree to disagree" in a way that strengthens their partnership.

Most poignantly, Stephanie reminds us that the path forward is rarely clear, but that by staying open to new opportunities and solutions, the end result can exceed our wildest dreams. Her story is a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and the magic that can happen when you build a life and business together.

Listeners will walk away inspired to approach their own entrepreneurial journeys with Stephanie's same unwavering spirit - one focused not on the risks, but on the possibilities that lie ahead. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to create a fulfilling life and business in tandem with their life partner.

We go deep into the moments that required us to make significant changes, each adding a new layer to our journey. Our conversation covers some of the challenges, decisions, and breakthroughs that propelled us forward, as well as moments that redirected us in unexpected ways.

One of the key themes in this episode is the power of adaptation and resilience. We discuss how embracing growth and challenging our beliefs allowed us to shift both in business and personal life. From my near-death hospital experience to embracing personal development literature that initially seemed at odds with my beliefs, each story illustrates the importance of open-mindedness and the willingness to expand one’s perspective.

We also reflect on our first major sponsorship and how it alleviated financial pressures during a challenging period, reminding us of the role that timing and trust play in building a sustainable business. Another significant milestone we discuss is our transition away from entertainment-focused content after the end of the show Lost, a decision that paved the way for us to focus on empowering entrepreneurial clients.
