Hey Family! In this episode, we are graced by the presence of the perfect POWER COUPLE. One of them is a boss lady in the Public Relations space, and the other is a veteran United States Marine who happens to be a powerhouse in the real estate industry. Together they are the happily married parents of a beautiful family! Ladies and gentlemen, Derrick presents to you: Lakesha and Deonte Cole! 

Derrick concedes that this couple is the definition of a healthy marriage and family life that has found blissful harmony with financial success. However, as always, our wise Marriage and Money mentor digs deep to find out the secret to finding this blissful harmony. 

Tune in to get inspired by a deep conversation that ranges from wars with your spouse to the war in Iraq. As usual, things get very real and very deep very quickly. When you listen to this episode, you are sure to be in awe of everything this couple has been able to build with the values of resilience and Trust! 

KEY POINTS:

QUOTABLES:

“It's easy to keep going forward if the bridge is already on fire behind you”
