We chatted with Ben and Corley on this week's show. Like us, they have 4 kids...except they had their babies within 4 years of each other. WOWZA. We had a great conversation about parenting, birth order, how their kids' names perfectly fit their personalities and their amazing family business, Good Ranchers, as well.

PS: If you want to give Good Ranchers a try (and we think your family will love them), you can get $30 off (+ free express shipping) by using the code "TJ"
