Episode 25: Alyx and Evan Monroe—What It Was Really Like Growing Up in Our Entrepreneurial Family

July 04, 2023 • Cindy Monroe • Season 1 • Episode 25

Today’s guests are two of my favorite people in the world. They’ve seen me, Scott, and our business from such a unique perspective—starting from day 1. That’s because today’s guests are my two kids, Alyx and Evan.

Today, Alyx and Evan get super honest about what it was actually like growing up in an entrepreneurial family. They share how we prioritized family time in the midst of the craziness, how our business affected their relationship as siblings, and if they ever feel pressure to live up to certain expectations. Plus, they reveal some moments when Scott and I could have been more present and how they communicated that. And yes, I totally ask them about our biggest parenting fails—and Alyx and Evan don’t hold back!

We’re getting real about the joys and struggles of balancing business and family life. Scott and I certainly don’t know everything about parenting while running a business. But I hope this conversation helps you understand your kids and yourself a little bit more—so you can have the business and family life you’ve always wanted.
