Ep. 07 - Money, Marriage and Mission: What Alignment Looks Like Behind The Scenes

Money, marriage, and mission — they’re the three pillars that can either fuel your growth or quietly burn everything down.
In this episode, Danielle and Michael pull back the curtain on what alignment really looks like inside a marriage, a business partnership, and a shared life.
 
This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the truth behind the decisions, the discomfort, the financial realities, and the moments that have strengthened their foundation instead of cracking it. They dive into how they navigate money with transparency, how they keep their partnership rooted in respect even when the pressure is high, and how they protect the mission they’re building — as founders, parents, leaders, and partners.
 
If you’ve ever wondered how to build a business with your spouse without losing yourselves in the process, this episode is the blueprint.
Real talk. Real strategies. Real alignment — from the inside out.
 
In this episode, they explore:
 
How money conversations actually happen behind the scenes (and why clarity creates safety)
What it takes to stay united when business stress tries to pull you apart
The difference between compromise and alignment — and how to know which one you’re in
Why mission is the anchor that keeps your partnership steady through growth and chaos
The rituals, boundaries, and honest conversations that keep Danielle and Michael on the same page
 
This is a must-listen for any couple building something bigger than themselves.

Ep. 05 - Build A Life, Not Just a Brand: Choosing Authenticity Over Approval

In this episode of the Build Together Podcast, Danielle and Michael dig into one of the most overlooked truths of entrepreneurship: your brand might be what people see, but your life is what you live.
 
They explore the shift from chasing likes, followers and external validation to building a business and brand rooted in the life you actually want—on purpose, aligned with your values, and free from the constant pull of “what will people think?”
You’ll hear raw stories from their journey at Clark + Aldine—where hustle once swallowed every hour, and how they intentionally recalibrated to steward their business and their lives without sacrificing one for the other.
They share:
 
Why authenticity isn’t just a marketing buzzword—it’s a strategic advantage.
How seeking approval can misalign your brand, your business, and your values.
Concrete shifts and non-negotiables they’ve implemented to protect their energy, protect their family rhythms, and show up as whole humans—not just “brand owners.”
Practical questions you can ask yourself to check whether your brand is serving you, or you’re serving your brand.
 
Tune in if you’re done playing small, tired of the follow-for-follow treadmill, and ready to build a meaningful business that supports a rich, full life—not the other way around.
