047 - Creating Equality in Love and Work: Emily & Rob Part 1
Explicit content warning
07/05/16 • 30 min
Welcome to Episode 47!
This week’s episodes are about equality and gender in love and in work– what are the roles we’re expected to play, and what happens when we shake those up? Our couple, Emily and Rob know quite a bit about this topic. These two have been together nonstop since they met in college. And not only are they married, but they have founded and run several major venture backed companies together, and now operate a company called Din as co-ceos.
The expectations and demands these two face as a result of not just being a couple, but of running large fully staffed organizations, and by having taken capital from professional investors are not insignificant. You might think those demands are contradictory, but not for these two. Somehow Emily and Rob manage to both be both successful partners and to remain completely head over heals for one another.
In our conversation we explore not just how they manage the dynamic of working and living together 24/7, but how they handle the balance of power at work, and how that impacts their priorities as a couple.
Emily recently wrote an article on Medium called Why I’m Returning To My Maiden Name. We’ll talk with her about that article and that decision in part 2 of our interview on Thursday.

046 - Dirty Sex, Clean Fights: Gaby & Raj Part 2
Welcome to Episode 46!
Today’s episode is Part 2 of an interview with Gaby and Raj Sundra, authors of Relationship Fun and Games.
We’re joining the interview just as Gaby and Raj are about to share with us their Romp Recap technique for scoring and improving their sex lives.
If you would like to learn more about Gaby and Raj, you can find their website and all their courses at: http://relationshipfunandgames.com/
This week’s podcasts are all about turning a dramatic relationship into a peaceful (and sexy) one. On the magazine, Phil and Maude Mays take it a step further, outlining in detail how they manage to never fight, but instead focus on co-creating solutions, in Our Conflict Free Relationship. The story is the result of an email conversation I’ve been having with Phil and Maude about whether conflict is in fact avoidable in relationships. They say it is, and as you probably know by now, I say it isn’t. Regardless, their article articulates a very interesting process for communication.

048 - Taking Back My Name: Emily & Rob Part 2
Welcome to Episode 48!
This week’s episodes are about creating equality in love and at work. Today’s installment is Part 2 of an interview with Emily and Rob, spouses and business partners who live and work together 24/7, and who have created several successful, venture-backed businesses. If you haven’t heard Part 1, you might want to go back and listen because it will give you more context for today’s discussion. That said, today’s episode is primarily about Emily’s decision to return to her maiden name after first taking Rob’s last name when they married. And that decision, which every married couple faces, stands on its own.
Emily’s decision, and Rob’s response to her decision, are inspiring to me personally, and I hope you enjoy this interview.
So with that, let’s go to Part 2 of our interview with Emily and Rob.
You can learn more about the company that Emily and Rob operate together at https://din.co/
The article that Emily wrote is available here: Why I’m Returning To My Maiden Name
