In this solo episode, he makes a case he says most entrepreneurs get wrong: that your spouse isn't just a support system for your grind, they are the single most important business decision you will ever make. Jason walks through the specific traits that make a spouse a business asset or a liability, the moment in late October 2022 when Katie's words gave him the confidence to resign from his corporate career, and why he recently hired a marriage coach for a relationship he already considers a nine out of ten.
