What if success wasn’t about doing more but about redefining what matters most?
In this insightful and heartfelt episode, Kimberley Schafer, entrepreneur, mentor, and former Fortune 100 leader, joins host Nick Houpt to talk about what it means to build a business, a partnership, and a life that feels truly balanced.
From climbing the corporate ladder at IBM and Microsoft to launching and selling a thriving home care franchise, Kim’s journey is a powerful lesson in reinvention, resilience, and rediscovery. She opens up about building a company with her spouse, knowing when to pivot, and learning how to put yourself back into your own life.
We explore:
✅ What it takes to build a successful business with your spouse
✅ How to recognize your blind spots and hire your weaknesses
✅ The courage it takes to start over—and the beauty of doing so
This conversation is equal parts business wisdom and life reflection, reminding us that true success isn’t just measured by growth, it’s measured by balance.
