I Do, We Do

We love setting goals. For 2019, we set some lofty goals for our new business together. We have been checking in on our progress every quarter of the year. In this episode, we chat about our progress through the 3rd quarter. We have been thrown some curveballs this year, but we have made adjustments and we are on track. Our check-ins have been key to our success. Learn more about our progress and about how to have a goals check-in in this episode. 

We are lucky to live in the great city of Austin, Texas. People often ask us about Austin so we decided to dedicate an episode to the city. But the episode turned into one about how to get connected in a new city after speaking to a friend who is struggling to connect with people after moving away from Austin. This episode more than anything is about connection and moving towards something rather than away from something.

Life has gotten real over here! Our son is now 4 weeks old! This is our first time recording an episode since he was born. In this episode, we share the birth story of Lincoln Foles Alaniz-Moyer. We begin at our 38 week doctors appointment and end with a baby! There is lots that happens in between. 

This is a very special episode as it was recorded straight from the delivery room on the day our first child was born. We thought we would share our hopes and dreams for our little guy who entered the world about 10 hours after this was recorded. We never wanted kids, but this is our reality and after this episode and our Lincoln being born, we now realize he was our missing LINC in our now Team of Three. 

It should come as no surprise that we love professional development books around here. And a favorite we have in common is Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni.

Tune in to hear more about how absence of trust, lack of communication, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, and little fun impact our relationship.
