What if the difference between your business thriving and barely surviving isn't more capital, better timing, or a lucky break. Instead it’s the lessons you haven't learned yet from people who've already been exactly where you are?
Every episode, we sit down with founders, investors and business leaders who've actually built something. The ones who've risked their own money, made tough calls, navigated failures and created businesses that endure and turnover millions.
We talk about the decisions that kept them up at night. The pivots that worked. The mistakes that didn't. The moments when quitting looked easier than continuing. And the strategies, mindset shifts and lessons that made the difference between barely surviving and actually succeeding.
If you're building a business, you'll hear stories that validate what you're going through and give you insight you can apply immediately.
If you're thinking about starting, you'll get an honest view of what's actually involved and whether it's the right path for you.
If you've been doing this a while, you'll find others who understand the pressure you carry and the vision that keeps you going.
This is for the people building something meaningful. The ones willing to do what's difficult today for what matters tomorrow. The ones who understand that success comes from consistent execution, smart choices and pushing through when it gets uncomfortable.

Is growth always the goal? In this episode of Mr & Mrs in Business, Chris and Helen dive into the idea of scale asking the question: is bigger better in business, or is there a smarter way to grow?
They share how their business has grown by 27% in the past year without adding a single new team member, proving that growth doesn’t always have to mean more people, more stress, or more hours. Instead, it’s been about refining systems, being laser-focused and making decisions based on what actually brings profit and joy.
Throughout the episode, they talk openly about the pressures of managing a larger team, the turning point that changed their growth strategy and why they’ve chosen to stay intentionally lean while still scaling both revenue and impact.
If you're a small business owner wondering whether to scale up or streamline, this honest and unscripted chat offers practical insights, lived experience and a few laughs along the way. Because sometimes the answer to is bigger better in business... is no.
