Hey friends, it’s Darren and Kim! We’re back with another round of real talk from the front lines of building a business and a life together. Today, we’re hitting pause to take stock of how far we’ve come—and wow, it’s been a ride! The last few weeks have felt intense (chaotic, if we’re being honest), and it forced us to look back and ask: where were we when we started our business, and how the heck did we get here? Today, we’re unpacking all the moments that shaped our evolution and the lessons we’re still learning as we build this thing from the ground up. We know the growing pains are real—and this episode is full of them!
Topics Covered:
- Why taking a moment to look back might be the most important thing you do.
- How hiring key people at the right time became the gas on our fire.
- The truth about what would’ve happened if we actually hit our “10 partners in year one” goal.
- Darren’s confessions about burnout and bending too far for clients.
- The fears (and thrills) of bringing new leaders into your business, and trusting them with your vision.
There’s no manual for scaling a business, and there’s definitely no avoiding the mess that comes with it. No matter what happens, we’re gonna keep pushing that boulder up the hill! Don’t forget to subscribe, leave us a review, or slide into our DMs—we love hearing from you! See you next time!
