This week, Krista and Samantha are deep in summer mode—juggling Camp MacChaos, dreaming up travel plans, and trying to remember what day it is (no guarantees). They unpack the myth of passive income, why automated revenue is a more accurate goal, and how delegation and SOPs can actually free up time to breathe.

The conversation bounces between parenting, business workflows, Human Design, book club picks, and yes—reality TV. It’s a peek behind the curtain of two moms navigating work, life, and play in real-time, with a healthy dose of honesty and laughter.

If you’re feeling the summer stretch—equal parts magic and meltdown—this one’s for you.
