How Child Care Owners Can Win at Business and Marriage with Brian and Carol Duprey
Tue Feb 03 2026
What really happens when you go into business with your spouse or partner? Can you grow a successful company without letting work take over your marriage—or your life? In this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol Duprey share what it's truly like to build a business together, navigate the minefields, and come out stronger on the other side.
Tune in to this episode as Brian and Carol share real-world lessons from 35 years of marriage, entrepreneurship, and partnership. From defining clear "lanes" of responsibility and separating business from personal life, to learning how to resolve conflict, listen better, and work toward true win-win decisions, they walk through the exact strategies that helped them turn struggle into strength. They also talk candidly about the mistakes they made early on—and how those lessons shaped the life and business they enjoy today.
Listen in as they explain why your spouse is not your employee, how to protect your relationship with intentional date nights, and why shared goals and dream boards can transform the way you grow together. You'll hear powerful stories from their own journey, including major business decisions, marriage challenges, and how learning to communicate changed everything.
Join us for an honest, practical, and heartfelt conversation that every couple in business needs to hear. Whether you're working side-by-side every day or supporting each other behind the scenes, this episode will give you tools to strengthen your partnership, your business, and your life together.
