In this heartfelt bonus episode of the Pretty and Punk Podcast, hosts iLdiKo Ferenczi and Dan Caldwell tackle one of the most overlooked truths about entrepreneurial success: Your marriage is the foundation for everything. &nbsp; It’s not just a catchy phrase—it’s a reality backed by years of experience and therapist insights.

Once that bond is broken, rebuilding it becomes nearly impossible. &nbsp; Dan and iLdiKo get raw and real, share the struggle of marriage, obstacles, building, selling, businesses while prioritizing their marriage and raising strong, connected children. They reveal the warning signs of putting work over family and the devastating impact it can have—not just on your marriage, but on your relationship with your kids. &nbsp; This is the episode for entrepreneurs who are striving to excel in both their personal and professional lives. You’ll discover how to balance love, family, and business, creating a legacy that lasts for generations. &nbsp; Don’t miss this chance to learn how to divorce-proof your marriage and build an unshakeable foundation for success. &nbsp; P.S.
