Today on Business Marriage, James makes Hayley talk about what happens when you reach for greatness, and fall back down to Earth with a bit of a bump!

In what is probably the quietest episode of Business Marriage we’ll ever do, we discuss the times we’ve reached for the stars and fallen just a bit short. From wastes of time to literal waste, we’ve had our fair share of ups and downs, and hopefully sharing ours will help you feel better about yours!

We also talk about the new way we’re being made broke, the joys of spending time away, and why you need to focus on what you have done. To top it all off, Hayley has finally been recognised in public!

Today on Business Marriage, we’ve been inspired by Rob Dyrdek and decided to build the dream in our lives!

After our chat with Rob last week, we had a few hard conversations with a mirror to figure out what we actually want from life. It turns out, it’s really easy to figure out what you don’t want in life, but figuring out what DO want is quite a bit harder.

From our dream house to our dream experiences, it’s a lot easier to daydream than to achieve those dreams - but we won’t let that stop us! We share our goals, aspirations, and lamentations in our lives, and hopefully we’ll actually stick to our targets for a change!

Get involved with the show via https://www.businessmarriagepod.com/ or if you think Rob should take over the show, you can email us at hello@businessmarriagepod.com!

In this episode you will hear: 

What do we actually want?

How Rob Dyrdek inspired us

What are we lacking in our lives?

Why we spend so much time dreaming

Will we ever let each other finish a sentence?

Today on Business Marriage, James takes Hayley completely by surprise by inviting his hero, Rob Dyrdek, onto the podcast!

In possibly our most emotional episode to date, Rob opens up about his desire to build an amazing life for himself rather than hitting specific targets. We talk about the value of gathering data and the sheer enormity of trying to be a better person.

Hayley is a bit confused by the whole process, but James and Rob do their best to convince her of the benefits of tracking your life. We discuss quality of life, crunch some numbers, and do just a little bit of fanboying.

Get involved with the show via https://www.businessmarriagepod.com/ or if you think James should retire from podcasting, you can email us at hello@businessmarriagepod.com!

In this episode you will hear: 

Why did Rob agree to come on the show?

The power of consistency

Hayley wraps her head around life tracking

How you can make your family a tickbox (and that be a good thing!)

Will James be too starstruck to hold a conversation?

In this episode of Business Marriage James and Hayley walk through the steps you need to take when staring big challenges in the face and making momentous decisions in your business and life.

Get involved with the show via https://www.businessmarriagepod.com/

Hayley is getting ready to onboard the first full-time member of her team, so the pair discuss the many challenges of growing a business and the key considerations you need to make when looking to hire staff. They also debate the importance of making sure you don’t lose your values as you start to grow and scale.

As well as business, the duo also tackle the subject of how to tactically take steps towards beneficial outcomes when making key life decisions too. For example, when do you know you have found ‘the one’... or do you just blag it and hope for the best.

And finally, they wrap up this week’s dose of LOLs and nonsense Hayley decides to test James’ decision-making skills as she puts him in the firing line of making choices in superhero situations!

Plus there’s a 'Small Business Shoutout' to a brilliant small business that they love in the form of Roy’s Boys who made all James’s Father’s Day dreams come true recently - you can find them via https://roys-boys.com/
