Sponsor Magnet: Attract, Price, & Execute Dream Partnerships Is Mixing Business and Marriage a Mistake?
What happens when a creator who's 5x'd their revenue goals decides their spouse should quit their stable job to sell sponsorships full-time?
Jenny Wood left Google after 18 years to launch her book "Wild Courage" and build a business around keynote speaking and coaching. Revenue is crushing it. Her husband Jon still has a 9-to-5. And now they're sitting in their kitchen at night, staring at a pro/con list, trying to figure out if putting all their eggs in one basket is brilliant or insane.
Here's what we cover:
The "never assume it's beneath them" rule that saves marriages
Why diverse revenue streams are actually safer than a corporate job
How to avoid the biggest mistake when your spouse joins the business (spoiler: don't kick down the door and mess with everything)
The $6K deal that sparked their first business fight—and why pushing back is healthy
Why you can't let "what if it doesn't work out" kill what could be amazing
Jenny shares the exact moment Jon questioned whether her first brand deal would drain the trust battery with her audience. Plus, the real conversation about female breadwinners, menial tasks, and building resentment before you've even started.
