How Building a Business Can Actually Damage Your Marriage

Send a text

Is the "hustle" helping your bank account but hurting your home life?

In Episode 6 of the Entrepremarriage Podcast, Myka and Mahogany kick off a special March series by diving into a raw and honest conversation about the darker side of entrepreneurship: how building a business can accidentally damage a marriage.

Reflecting on their early days in real estate and the timeshare industry, they share how "chasing the bag" led to financial profit but left them feeling unfulfilled and disconnected. From working late nights in Frisco to traveling the world without being truly present, they discuss the critical lesson that money never outweighs time.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• The Early Years: How their first successful business, Sharebnb, started with both hands on deck but eventually led them down different paths.
• The "Vegas" Pivot: Discovering a new business model that brought in more money but removed all automation and free time.
• The Downfall of the Hustle: Why taking six vacations a year wasn't enough to fix a lack of intentionality in their relationship.
• Choosing Both: Why you don't have to choose between a successful business and a successful marriage.

Building wealth shouldn't come at the cost of your family. Join us for part one of this four-part series as we identify the "holes in the boat" and share how you can grow your business while keeping your marriage thriving.
