#92 - Separating work from your personal life is hard enough already without partnering with, hiring, or working for other people close to you. When you work with your spouse, friend, or a family member, it can be a convoluted mess of emotions, tones, and debating.

In this episode I talk with my wife Jen about how we work together on each other’s businesses or on the same business with all the dynamics of a boss/employee/partner relationship while staying married (and sane).

We discuss how to over communicate, give appropriate feedback, split up roles and responsibilities, and prioritize what needs to be done. We also dive into how each of us work differently using digital or physical systems to track work and not make each other crazy.
