Internet business strategist

"My work life and personal life were so intertwined; my wife and I started 'host' night. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Kuri [my wife] has to come up with our dinner plans and nightly activity. On Tuesday and Thursday, I drive to meet her for lunch with Tyne [our baby daughter] and I am also responsible for our dinner plans and nightly activity. We swap Saturdays, and Sundays are open. We implemented this strategy—see, I even talk about my personal life in business fashion—so we could bring some balance to our work-personal life."
