What does it really take to run a successful child care business as a team? In this week’s episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol Duprey sit down with one of their trusted coaches, Michael, for the start of a special two-part series. This first conversation gives you a closer look at the unique dynamic Michael shares with his wife, Mandy, and how their partnership fuels both their personal and professional growth.

 

Tune in as Brian and Carol chat with Michael about what it’s like to work alongside your spouse in business, the lessons learned along the way, and the importance of humility and communication. You’ll hear candid stories about their teamwork, insights into balancing roles, and even some lighthearted moments about the art of apologizing.

 

Listen in as the discussion touches on leadership, family, and the way strong relationships can strengthen business success. Their open and honest conversation gives practical encouragement for anyone leading with a partner by their side.

 

Join us for part one of this inspiring series, and get ready for part two next week when Michael returns to share strategies for competing against free universal pre-K programs and setting your center apart in a crowded market.
