Interview:
- I would love if you would tell our listeners a little about yourselves (1:00)
- The thing that excited me about this book is that you guys got specific on a topic that couples may not even know they need to talk about. What was the tension in your own story that made you want to write this book? (2:21)
- So someone called you and said, “Come get an Airstream”. Tell us a little about that story and how that connects to the idea of love and work (7:22)
- André, talk a little about your passion as an individual (11:34)
- You guys had so many tweetable moments in this book. Talk a little about the journey to get to where you are today that is so healthy (15:18)
- Your communication style seems to be blunt. How do you start having these types of conversations? (18:35)
- You guys talk a lot in the book about affirming each other’s giftedness. Share a little about that (21:26)
- André, there’s a point in the book when you talk about encouraging Jeff to do the next thing and it meant a lot to Jeff. Can you describe that a little bit? (24:30)
- When you saw the research, what were a couple things that our listeners should know or wouldn’t have seen coming? (27:00)
- Why do you think so many people have a hard time being for their spouse? (30:15)
- I imagine that a lot of people are where you guys are – they both have big dreams. Talk a little bit to couples who are in different places with their dreams (33:30)
- I see some things in my wife that she is so great at but she doesn’t necessarily see. What do you say to that? (44:50)
- Tell people where they can find out more about you and the book (49:49)
- If you could have couples do one thing, what would it be? (50:20)
