In this episode, we sat down with business owners, Meg and Micah Kandros. Meg owns her own practice as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Micah is an award-winning designer and photographer.
Meg and Micah are both seasoned professionals in their industries and are passionate about going against the status quo of “the grind” and “hustle culture” that includes Micah being a founding member of the Not Crushing It Club - this will make sense when you hear him talk about it.
With two businesses to run and three boys to raise, these two have so much wisdom in how they manage their priorities and still run successful businesses.
We specifically talked about making sacrifices for dreams, the fear that comes from starting a business, using your skills to support your spouse, working in the same location with your spouse, and why we should reconsider our ideal view of retirement.
We also talk about the benefits of working in a corporate job before stepping out on your own and how to gain freedom to take career risks with a “fail forward” mindset.
There’s something for everyone in this episode, and we hope you find it as insightful and encouraging as we did.
