493 - What Podcasting Actually Did to Our Life and Family

Over the years, I’ve told my origin story in podcasting many times. I’ve shared how I got started, how things grew, and how this work eventually became my full-time career.

But what you’ve almost never heard is this story told alongside Stephanie.

Recently, Stephanie and I were invited to be guests on the Our Family Invests podcast with Mike Neubauer. And after the conversation, we both agreed. This was our favorite interview we’ve ever done together.

In this conversation, you’ll hear how podcasting impacted our marriage, our family, and our life as a whole.

Stephanie shares her perspective on what it was like in the early days, what she saw that I didn’t, and how we navigated seasons of uncertainty, growth, and transformation together.

We talk about:

• How podcasting started as a hobby and became something much bigger
• The role Stephanie played in the decision for me to leave my day job
• The early years of building something from nothing
• The unseen costs, including seasons of imbalance and overwork
• The turning points that led to more intentional boundaries, margin, and alignment
• How this journey shaped our kids and the way they see what’s possible

There are moments in this conversation that I could never fully express on my own. Hearing Stephanie share her experience adds a level of depth and clarity that I think you’ll really appreciate.

If you’ve ever wondered what podcasting can truly become over the long term, as a life-shaping creative practice, I believe you’ll find this episode meaningful.
