From a Flaming TV to a Debt-Free Life: How We Built a Marriage That Lasts with Emily Cripps (Part 1)

 🔥 A flaming TV on date two. A honeymoon where it rained inside our room. A Hill Climb that demanded total trust. Some couples bond over dinner… we bonded over chaos. And honestly? We wouldn’t change a thing. In this episode, Emily and I finally sit down together to pull back the curtain on 15 years of marriage, mistakes, miracles, and momentum. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the real stuff—the moments that built us, broke us, and pushed us to charge forward when quitting would’ve been easier. 💙 We talk relationships: How a polite Match rejection turned into a partnership built on calm, curiosity, communication, and choosing each other on the days it’s toughest. 💸 We talk money + marriage: Why we went full Dave Ramsey when everyone laughed at us, how we paid off a house and built the next one debt-free, and what it really feels like when life delays pile up and you’re staring at a bulldozer in the yard. 💊 We talk purpose: Emily breaks down clinical trials in a way that actually makes sense—how treatments move from an idea on paper to something that saves lives, why data integrity matters, and how COVID changed the entire industry overnight. Zero jargon, all clarity. 🌄 We talk adventure: From flipping stereotypes on a dune buggy trail in Curaçao to climbing the toughest line on day one at Windrock, our best memories usually started with “Are you sure this is a good idea?” If you’re navigating a career pivot, building your finances, strengthening your marriage, or simply trying to keep moving when life throws a curveball, this episode will meet you right where you are. Hit follow, share it with someone who needs a push today, and drop a comment with the bold step you are taking next. Let’s charge forward together. 🚀🔥 If one story, one insight, or one spark made you better this year—mission accomplished. New episodes every Thursday / FridaySubscribe, review, and keep charging forward with us.Follow & Subscribe to the Charge Forward Podcast: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/chargeforwardpodcast Special Thanks to Our Sponsors: Charge Forward Solutions – Merchant Services Sense Development – Executive & Data Services  HitLab Studios – Podcast ProductionRosemary Salazar – Virtual Assistant Services
