Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew

In today’s episode, in honor of our 10-year anniversary, we looked back at an episode you all loved where we made a list of things we wish we could tell ourselves as newlyweds. It was so fun to reminisce on the “honeymoon phase” after we got married and reflect on all the ways we’ve grown individually and as a couple since then.

We hope this episode encourages you in whatever stage of marriage you’re in. And to our single friends out there—don’t settle! Marriage is such a gift when it’s with the right person, and that person is worth the wait :)

Love you guys!
Shawn & Andrew

In this episode, we sit down with Gia and Teresa Giudice to unpack their unforgettable journey on Special Forces. From the intense physical and mental challenges to the deep bond that carried them through, Teresa and Gia share what it was really like competing side by side and what it was like for Gia to ultimately take home the win with Shawn!!

They open up about how the experience affected their relationship and the strength it takes to push past limits under pressure. Beyond the show, the conversation dives into the Giudice family- where everyone is now, what they’re up to, and how they’ve grown through the years in the public eye.

We hope you love it!!

Everyone tends to fall into one of two patterns: thinking or doing.

In this conversation, Pat Lencioni explores the tension between visionaries and doers and why some people generate ideas but struggle to act, while others execute but lack direction. More importantly, he breaks down why real progress requires both.

This isn’t just about business, but it’s about how we all approach work, goals, and life. Why do we get stuck even when we know what to do? And what actually helps us move forward?

We hope you enjoy this one with Pat Lencioni and make sure to check out his books!

In our most recent series, we opened up about some of the hardest topics we've discussed:
“I’m not here to make you happy.”
“I will let you down.”
“You don’t need me.”

We couldn’t see eye to eye on what they really meant.. So for this episode, we did something different. We brought in Dr. John Delony and let him break it all down (Oh boy hahaha). What started as a conversation quickly turned into real, on-the-spot couples counseling… with all of you watching. 😂
