Welcome back to Mr. and Mrs. CEO! This one is special because we’re celebrating Darren’s 65th birthday! Yep, 65. The age that once felt like a lifetime away is now right here, and we’re unpacking what it really means to hit that milestone when you’ve spent your whole life building, running, and growing family businesses. From the physical changes and unexpected bee stings (yep, you read that right!) to the mental strength that only comes with decades of all the ups and downs, we’re laying everything out.

Topics Covered:

• The reality check of turning 65 and why Darren still refuses to park in the senior spot.
• How business wisdom evolves over decades and why we don't panic like we used to.
• The power of cycles and how we’ve learnt to recognize economic and personal patterns that help us stay grounded.
• Why being “too old” or “too young” is more about mindset than mileage.
• How we’re staying adventurous, refusing to settle into boredom, and continuing to build our legacy.

If you’re pushing 60 and feeling like you're supposed to slow down,maybe think again. Let us know if this one hit home–we’d love to hear what age has taught you. Remember to stay bold and stay young at heart. We’ll catch you in the next one!

Hey everyone–Kim here! This week, I’m flying solo and getting a little more personal than usual. I’m pulling back the curtain on the first seven years of my 50s, what I’ve come to call “The Seven Year Bitch.” Yep, you read that right. These years have stretched me in ways I never expected. They’ve been uncomfortable, eye-opening, and deeply transformational. But this isn’t a doom-and-gloom episode. It’s a real and honest reflection on what it looks like to grow through what life throws your way.

Topics Covered:

• The unexpected way my 50s started—with a breast cancer diagnosis and everything it brought with it.
• Why friendships I thought would last forever quietly unraveled, and how I’m making peace with it.
• The old childhood wounds that started resurfacing in the most surprising ways.
• The deep fractures that hit our family during our legacy business journey and why they still ache.
• What’s next for me, and why I’m still rooting for that bold, playful, adventurous version of myself.

If you’ve been feeling like life has dulled your spark or you’re not quite sure who you are anymore, you’re not alone. I’m right there with you, and I’m choosing to believe that this next chapter is about rising, reconnecting, and reclaiming what lights us up. If this episode hit home for you, please reach out to us! We want to hear your honest thoughts and experiences. Until next time!

Hey friends, it’s Darren and Kim! We’re back with another round of real talk from the front lines of building a business and a life together. Today, we’re hitting pause to take stock of how far we’ve come—and wow, it’s been a ride! The last few weeks have felt intense (chaotic, if we’re being honest), and it forced us to look back and ask: where were we when we started our business, and how the heck did we get here? Today, we’re unpacking all the moments that shaped our evolution and the lessons we’re still learning as we build this thing from the ground up. We know the growing pains are real—and this episode is full of them!

Topics Covered:

• Why taking a moment to look back might be the most important thing you do.
• How hiring key people at the right time became the gas on our fire.
• The truth about what would’ve happened if we actually hit our “10 partners in year one” goal.
• Darren’s confessions about burnout and bending too far for clients.
• The fears (and thrills) of bringing new leaders into your business, and trusting them with your vision.

There’s no manual for scaling a business, and there’s definitely no avoiding the mess that comes with it. No matter what happens, we’re gonna keep pushing that boulder up the hill! Don’t forget to subscribe, leave us a review, or slide into our DMs—we love hearing from you! See you next time!
