196. Wifey Wednesdays and Family First: Redefining Success with Zach and Ashley

Hey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here, and today’s episode is all about redefining success with two of our favorite people, Zach and Ashley Spear. This conversation is packed with practical wisdom on balancing family, business, and faith while creating a life of intentionality and freedom. Zach and Ashley share their journey of working together as a couple, building a family-first business, and the unique ways they prioritize what matters most. One of the standout ideas from Zach and Ashley is their concept of “Wifey Wednesdays”—a midweek family day that breaks the traditional mold of work-life balance. They take Wednesdays off to spend uninterrupted time with their kids, avoiding the typical weekend chaos. It’s a small shift with a huge impact, reminding us that success is about designing a life you love, not just grinding through the week. Zach and Ashley also dive into the early challenges of working together in business, from letting go of control to finding their unique roles. Ashley opens up about her transition from corporate life to entrepreneurship and how she overcame fears while discovering her strengths. Zach shares insights on creating a rhythm of rest and work, ensuring their priorities align with their long-term vision. We wrap up the conversation with actionable tips on building rhythms, including their Friday coffee dates to plan for both family and business. Whether you’re balancing business with marriage, parenting, or personal growth, this episode will leave you inspired to rethink what success means for your family.
