36 Hours, No Kids—Why Our Mini-Getaway Was a Business Reset
Lesson: Recharging the “Why” Behind the Hustle
After eight years of parenting, Amy and I finally stole 1½ kid-free days. Just the two of us, no homework reminders or Slack pings—pure reset mode. It felt weird to leave for such a short trip, but it was exactly what we needed to remember why we’re grinding so hard in the first place.
Insight: Your Partner Is the Foundation of Every Venture
- Shared Vision Check-In – Stepping away let us recalibrate our long-term goals and make sure we’re still rowing in the same direction.
- Mutual Appreciation – When you’re both in the trenches, it’s easy to overlook each other’s wins. Time alone magnifies gratitude.
- Energy Transfer – A quick recharge with your “why” creates a ripple effect on business decisions, team morale, and even parenting patience.
Bottom line: the strength of your partnership sets the ceiling for everything else—family, business, and sanity.
