What do you do when your business is growing, but you and your partner are growing in opposite directions?

In this episode, Mark and Caroline Creedon unpack what happens when one partner wants to scale up and the other wants to slow down. You’ll learn how to stay in sync when the business (and life) evolves, without compromising your goals, your sanity, or your relationship.

They share practical tools like reverse engineering your shared North Star, applying the “Rock-Pebble-Sand” model to your calendar, and the real reason time management is a myth.

If you're in business with your significant other or a co-founder, and you feel like your business and your relationship are pulling you in opposite directions, this is your roadmap to realigned goals, shared vision, and actual progress without the drama.

Because alignment doesn’t mean identical goals - it means a united direction.
