Couple Things with Shawn and 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. 😂

Marriage and parenting are often painted as beautiful, fulfilling journeys (and they are!). But there are also parts no one really talks about until you’re in the middle of them. In this episode, we’re getting real about the unexpected challenges that catch couples and parents off guard. From shifting identities and communication struggles to the mental load, loneliness, and loss of spontaneity, we’re unpacking the truths people don’t always share before saying “I do” or bringing home a baby.

Whether you’re preparing for marriage, navigating early parenthood, or deep in the trenches, this honest conversation will help you feel seen, understood, and a little more prepared for what’s ahead.

Love you guys!
Shawn & Andrew
