About this episode

Married almost 20 years and in business together for more than a decade, Dan and Sarah answer the question everyone asks them first: how do you work together without destroying your relationship? It comes down to one risk-taker and one worrier, the argument that decided when Dan could quit his trucking job, and losing almost everything just months into running the business full time.

Which one are you, the worrier or the risk-taker? Tell us in the comments.
