Being Couplepreneurs with The Great Anomaly

Ep-224

Travel more, work less.

Wait, that sounds familiar…

Geneviève and Nick, co-founders of The Great Anomaly join Heather and I to talk about something that is very important to both of us.

Coupleprenuership.

Yes, it is a word (even if they made it up).

Gen and Nick work together as a couple on several businesses and have learned a lot about how to do so over the past several years. We chat about what to do when business personalities don’t match up, even if your romantic ones do, how to balance work and travel, and how structure actually creates freedom. Even though that last one doesn’t sound like it makes any sense.

Our Relationship on the Road

Ep 134


When you travel as a couple things can get hectic.

Where do you want to go next? What are we doing for dinner? The number of decisions you have to make on a daily basis increases tenfold.

When you’re at home you can retreat, go hang out with your friends, just lose yourself in the aspects of daily life, but on the road that’s all stripped away.

Today Jason interviews Heather and I about how we handle taking our relationship on the road. How we deal with decision making, money, and fighting as we travel around the world.

The highs are really high, and the lows can be really low, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything!

What are some of your tips for traveling on the road as a couple?
