About this episode

David Schaub discusses the importance of treating family relationships with the same intentionality as business relationships.

This is Episode 3 of David Schaub’s four-part Family Series: a solo run that gets into the nitty gritty about what it actually looks like to build a business as a husband and father. No guests. No interviews. Just real conversations about ambition, alignment, and intentional leadership at home. Episode 3 asks a simple but uncomfortable question: You meet with your team every week… Do you meet with your spouse? Most entrepreneurs run their companies with clarity, systems, culture, and accountability. But at home? Many of us drift until it shows up as tension, resentment, or distance. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why weekly check-ins at home matter as much as business meetings How to ask the hard questions before resentment builds What it means to be the bottleneck at home How to reverse engineer a five-year family vision Why culture at home is either designed or default How small boundaries protect long-term alignment If you’re structured in business but loose at home, this episode will challenge you in the right way, and give you a practical way to lead where it matters most.
