Ep 4. Running a Business & Being in a Relationship/Dating
Hello, folks! It’s your podcast pals, Louis and Sam, back with another heart-to-heart. This time, we’re delving into our experiences of balancing relationships while building our businesses.
As straight men, we’ve found that open communication and setting expectations are key in maintaining healthy relationships. It’s not just about being on the same page, but also about growing individually and finding purpose within the relationship. We’ve found that weekly check-ins and shared calendars can be real game-changers.
Balancing work and relationships is no easy feat, but the support and motivation we receive from our partners make it all worthwhile. It’s about acknowledging the challenges and appreciating the rewards.
In our chat, Samuel and I explored the importance of communication and regularly reviewing our relationships. We shared our motivations for getting married and the qualities we sought in our partners. Drawing from our parents’ successful marriages, we highlighted the importance of friendship in a relationship.
We also touched on the advantages of being alone and taking the time to work on oneself before entering a relationship. It’s about knowing yourself, your needs, and your boundaries.
In the final part of our conversation, Samuel and Grantson weighed the pros and cons of being in a relationship. We discussed the importance of timing and how a relationship can provide support and motivation for personal growth. We also acknowledged the challenges of being a business owner and the need for mobility and understanding in a partner.
We shared personal experiences and reflected on the role of self-improvement in relationships. In the end, it all boils down to communication, self-awareness, and aligning values for a successful relationship.
So, join us as we navigate the tricky waters of love and entrepreneurship. We’re learning, growing, and sharing our journey with you.
