A Strong Man’s Guide to Supporting a Successful Woman - EP176
My powerhouse wife, Mallory, just keeps achieving higher levels of success. And before my awakening this past summer, that success scared me.
I saw her growing independence as a threat. If I wasn’t the provider in our marriage, where did my worth come from?
Patrick Kennedy, Johnny Elsasser and Mark Gustafson are all in committed relationships with extremely successful women entrepreneurs. So, how are they growing stronger as men while they support their partners’ dreams?
