What are your and your spouse's love languages? Furthermore, is your spouse's love tank full? Do you ever look at your spouse and feel like you're drifting apart? Perhaps you feel more like roommates instead of energetic and enthusiastic romantic partners? This is an all-too-common scenario, and it's rarely a case of both partners not loving each other. Often it's a result of the day to day routine just wearing you down, and a failure to regularly connect with your partner (beyond regular date nights). So in this episode, we discuss a powerful tool for improving your connection with your partner. Listen in now. Show notes can be found at www.foundersconnect.co/podcast

What can you do if your spouse doesn't support your business?

So in this episode, we discuss 3 reasons why this is a problem for entrepreneurs and offer 5 practical things that founders can do to address this challenge. Listen in now.

How can building a community help your business grow? What's the best way to serve a community and make money at the same time? How do you attract the right members and ensure that they stick around and engage with other members? What platform should you be using for your community? These are all good questions. When it came to identifying someone qualified to share some real insights into all things community-related, there was one individual that immediately came to mind - Tara McMullin (formerly Tara Gentile). In this candid conversation with Tara we dive into her background, the unconventional path that led to her discovering her purpose-led business (and recently pivoting away from services and online training towards community building as her business model). Whether you're wanting to build your own community, or find the right community to help you accelerate your business and personal growth, in this interview Tara shares some key lessons (and mistakes) all business owners need to pay

Is it possible to talk about money as a couple without fighting? Also, how can you manage your money better as a team? These are important questions to answer, especially since a recent survey by credit firm Experian revealed that 59 percent of divorcees say finances played a role in the breakup of their marriage. Your ability to effectively manage money and communicate about finances with your significant other is, therefore, a key to your relationship success. We also believe it's a key to your business success as one of the toughest challenges an entrepreneur can face is to not have their partner, and often their biggest life and emotional support, onboard with what they're building. In this episode, we dive into money management, and how to talk about money as a couple. Show notes can be found at www.foundersconnect.co/podcast
