What’s up Family? Today’s episode is very special because this time, Derrick features two talented individuals who are the DEFINITION of Marriage and Money: a POWER COUPLE in both their business and their marriage. They are none other than the creative minds behind the Digital Creative Agency: Dos Cocos Locos!  

Tune in as Derrick finds out how this dynamic duo began their glorious journey from humble beginnings: selling coconuts at a beach in Miami (Yes… You read that right!) Pay special attention as they share the A to Zs of running a business while maintaining their relationship as a married couple with surprisingly simple and actionable steps. They also get real with Derrick about how business can bleed into marriage or vice versa.

Derrick reflects on their methods and shares key take-aways about commitment and the priceless value of conflict resolution.
