If you’re married and own a business together you may already know what it’s like to run a business with your spouse.
But what I’ve found is that very few people actually talk about the realities of what it’s like, and how to really work together to make the business work.
So I reached out to a married couple that I know who run a sports business together.
That is Vince and Marisa Malts.
I asked them if we could do an interview on what it’s like for them to run their business together?
They agreed.
But I told them to not hold back.
And I asked them to really share the TRUTH about what it was like.
The ups and downs and everything in between.
And they definitely did that.
What I found really interesting is the tips and advice they share on how they make it all work.
Which led to some VERY interesting back and forth during the interview….
And some good laughs.
So if you are a married couple and own a business together, you will find this episode VERY helpful.
If you’re not married but own a business, you’ll find this very entertaining and eye opening. Because what Marisa and Vince share will help any relationship. Even if you don’t work or run a business together.
