the reality of building a business (as a couple)

This week, we are finally getting creative for our own business.
See us navigating the creative process and the insecurity that comes with it, enjoying time with good friends, and meeting other business owners to grow our network.
We also share some personal reflections about the raw reality of building business as a couple and the lessons that come with it.
Thanks for watching!

Why "Love, SS"?
