Today on The Casey Adams Show, I’m joined by Kass and Mike Lazerow — the powerhouse couple behind Golf.com and Buddy Media, and co-authors of Shoveling Shit: A Love Story About The Entrepreneur’s Messy Path to Success. From launching startups to navigating marriage and business together, Kass and Mike bring a raw, honest perspective to what it really takes to build and exit successful companies — while building a life together.

In this episode, we dive into their one-of-a-kind love story that began with an email proposal, the ups and downs of building businesses as a couple, and what inspired them to write so candidly about the messy side of entrepreneurship. We cover their early days, fundraising strategies, the sale of Buddy Media to Salesforce for nearly $800 million, and the emotional journey behind it all. Whether you’re a founder, in a relationship, or both — this one will hit home.
