We have pivoted our channel and in our new series will be covering everything from Business to life to classic cars and old cinema, and back to business.
No but really during our break we have been hard at work and we thought, people might want to see how we build a business, work together as a couple, growing professionally while making time for personal endeavors. Additionally people might want to have a go at it and we wanted to be a resource to help anyone and everyone on their journey. Episodes post on YT early!
