Before we begin: Yes, this is episode 5 and not 3 as stated at the start of the episode. We decided to flip the order of episodes 🤪

In this deeply personal episode, we strip back the Instagram-perfect facade of the "power couple" to reveal what it actually takes to work with your romantic partner.

We share surprising insights about how naturally our collaboration has evolved, despite spending virtually every moment together: living, working, gym sessions, and even meditation.

The conversation dives into the critical importance of setting boundaries when your relationship and business life completely merge, from protecting creative flow states to maintaining individual identity within a partnership.
We also share more about our feelings of being "out of place" with Paul seeking a more heart-centred approach to leadership, and Ann as a first-generation immigrant climbing corporate ladders.

In this episode, you'll hear about:
1. How Personal Triggers Show Up in Business - Processing conflict with curiosity instead of defensiveness when working with your partner
2. Essential Boundaries for Couples in Business - Protecting creative flow, maintaining individual identity, and separating work from relationship space
3. The Unsustainable Truth About Hustle Culture - Why 10 days of non-stop work taught us to create our own rules for success
4. Independence Within Partnership - How encouraging each other's individual growth strengthens both the relationship and business decisions
5. Heart-Centred Leadership - Rejecting traditional CEO blueprints to lead from personal values and authentic community building

For those who are considering building a business with your partner, or have romanticised the idea, we pose to you the following question:
"If everything in your life came crumbling down tomorrow, do you and your partner have the tools to stand together and navigate that challenge, or would you start to fray apart?"

Once again, thanks for listening.
