We...
We decided to take on a lot when we got married.
We went into business together.
We became like 50-50 business partners, newlyweds.
Andrew was bouncing around the country with the NFL.
I was bouncing around the country on a tour with gymnastics.
We did everything probably wrong, but...
Communication that we had to unlearn.
We're both very ambitious and we're very driven and we're very stubborn.
And learning that we both can't be in the driver's seat at the same time, I think was really hard.
I came into our marriage basically running my own company.
And Andrew came in with all of the ideas and all of the ambition to lead.
And for us, our communication skills had to work.
And we had to really unlearn how to both take a step back and kind of start something new instead of saying, this is mine or this is my idea and we're going to do it.
And it was very difficult.
I mean, we're still...
We're still unlearning that.
Oh, yeah.
Let's hear it.
This is my favorite.
