You are the pioneer. The entrepreneur. The explorer. The risk-taker. But you find yourself married to, or in business with, a settler. A homesteader. A risk-avoider.
In this episode, our very special guest is going to blow your mind with her insights about how to harmonize these polar opposites, and prove that they are better together than apart.
Our verse this week is from Psalm [18:22]…“He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.”
That has certainly been the case with me as you’ll discover later in this episode.
Word of Warning: My tip this week won’t work for people who are paranoid about being tracked by their phone.
I have fallen in love with an app called Life Cycle.
This app automatically tracks your life and presents it to you in a way that lets you see what you’re doing with your time.
If you’re looking to make changes about the ways you spend your time, this may just be the app for you.
In this episode I’m having a conversation with a very wise woman…my wife Lynn. She is the most authentic and honest person I know, and she has a totally contagious laugh.
