We\u2019re incredibly excited to have Ashlee deSteiger and David Rae\u2014two XYPN advisors and RIA owners\u2014on the show today to talk about everything that comes along with working having your spouse as a coworker. Ashlee\u2019s husband joined her firm, Gunder, after seeing the momentum and freedom she enjoyed while running the firm, while David hired his husband at his firm strategically to support not just his firm, but his lifestyle as well.
In this episode, you\u2019ll hear Ashlee and David discuss the good, bad, and the ugly of working with your spouse\u2014from how they take walks (alone) to tag-teaming duties. They also talk about the decision to hire a spouse generally and what it\u2019s like to market your firm with your spouse and serve clients as a team. Ashlee shares what it was like growing her firm during COVID and with three small kids at home. David reminds us of how good things can be when we define our ideal life and work towards it each day while embracing the inevitable challenges.
Whether you\u2019re starting your firm with your partner or just starting your firm, you won\u2019t want to miss this episode.
