We talk a lot about goals, action, and achievement on this podcast. But we are human. There are things that hold us back from being our best selves.

Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked About in this Episode: Looking at external factors that gold you back is easy, but it’s hard to look internally The biggest obstacle to every goal is yourself The ways we hold ourselves back For Billy, it is thinking too far in the past He overanalyzes his past actions and their impact on the present For Ashley, it is being too concerned with what others perceive There is an interesting balance of managing credibility and maintaining humility For or us together, it is being too comfortable with one another We fall into our roles and do not challenge ourselves

In this episode, we do a re-do of one of our most popular episodes. Goal Setting! We share why we set goals and how. We believe setting goals together ensures that we are always growing together rather than apart. Billy has a long history with goal setting. Ashley drank the kool-aid and together we consider setting and achieving goals one of our greatest and most important collabs. Download a free goal setting lesson for partners at BashleyMoyer.com/goals. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked About in this Episode: Billy went through his first goal setting program when he was just four-years-old He has continued learning about goal setting and teaching others about the subject ever since Paul J. Meyer, the founder of the personal development industry said, “If you are not making the progress you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.” Goals bring out the best in us. Ashley shares the story of Billy asking her about her goals and sharing his goals when they first met Some companions from Billy’s past were turned off by this, but Ashley was intrigued and of course stuck around to learn more Ashley shares more about her own personal thoughts on goal setting and how they have changed with Billy Ashley is go with the flow, Billy is the planner But we both enjoy setting goals. The goal setting process begins with a Dream List This is how we got started goal setting together and they continue adding to their list every year. A Dream List is exactly what it sounds like. Some call it a bucket list. This is simply all the things you want to do in your life together. Next comes creating a short list of goals - no more than 10 We do this every year as well. We start by setting individual goals and then coming together for a date night to share the goals and work on our combined list. Through this process especially, it is important that we fully support one another. There are no stupid goals. This should be a real discussion. What do we really want to accomplish together over the next year? What are the benefits of the goal? What obstacles stand in our way? What steps need to be taken to achieve it? Set challenging goals together that are realistic There are no unrealistic goals just some really bad target dates. Goal setting is supposed to be uncomfortable. Goal setting begins with an awareness of where you are right now and a desire to change your future together Goals are a prelude to action, they are a course to take; they are an expression of your strengths; they are an exercise of your desire for becoming better together Growing together is a choice all partners must make Growing apart is an excuse.

Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com.

We’re revisiting the Enneagram! The ever popular Enneagram is back on our minds but we’re focusing on what it's like to work with a Type 8 (Billy) and a Type 2 (Ashley). We talk through a few characteristics typical of a Type 8 (The Challenger) & Type 2 (The Helper), how they relate to each of us, and how we work around these traits and embrace them to be a powerhouse team of two. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked About in this Episode: A recap on our enneagram types Billy is a Type 8: The Challenger Ashley is a Type 2: The Helper These types are more similar than they seem both desire impact & influence but have different ways about achieving it Type 8 is direct and results oriented Type 2 is people-oriented and altruistic Type 2 is nicknamed The Helper and it couldn’t describe Ashley more perfectly. She has built her career on helping others and takes this on in her personal life too. Type 8 loves to challenges but loves to give other the opportunity to be challenged and convinces others to take on challenges Ashley often tells Billy when she convincible When we started this podcast, Billy always asked “What’s the end result?” to which Ashley responded “Just to have fun.” Later, he convinced her to start business which they officially started in February 2019. Type 2 can be seen as a fairy-godmother Unknowingly, Ashley often jokes about being a fairy godmother to the many scholarship recipients of the non-profit she runs How Ashley needs a wand Type 8s love control and hate being controlled, which completely describes Billy Even physically, Billy hates certain positions when cuddling because he doesn’t have control of his body Ashley had difficulty working with this when before she was always the one who was forced to make plans She doesn’t desire control, but likes to fill needs and help others Type 2s are empathetic and are in tune to others, Type 8s like results and often loses emotional contact Billy doesn’t walk into situations wanting to make friends, but recognizes that others might & that’s where Ashley’s skillset shines Ashley often serves as a consultant for Billy when communicating emotions with others Type 2s help others so much, it often is to the detriment of their own health When Ashley gets tired or stressed, her emotions come out. Billy then asks himself, “What can I do for Ashley to help her, so she’s not always being the helper?”

It’s Valentine’s Day week and we thought it was about time for us to share our love story with you. Isn’t it crazy that it took us 31 episodes to share this story? In this episode, we share how Billy Moyer and Ashley Alaniz met, fell in love, got engaged and became Bashley! You get to hear who was smitten with the other first, how we split the cost of our first date, got engaged after dating for 6 months and had one epic wedding. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked About in this Episode: Where we were in our lives before we met in April 2010 Billy was almost two years out of college and working to build his business. After trying a bit too hard in past relationships he had decided to focus on work. Ashley was almost a year out of college and had just started her first job. She was still in college mode doing some partying and was living with her parents. A new work friend of Ashley and Billy’s best friend introduced us. Our first date - We went to a restaurant in downtown Fort Worth, Texas where Billy paid and a Comedy Club where Ashley paid. Billy finally went in for a kiss at the door dropping Ashley at home after chickening out many times before Ashley told her friends that night that she was going to marry Billy It took Billy a little longer to know the relationship was for real, but when he did he started looking at rings. This was in July only 6 weeks after our first date We got engaged on November 6, 2010. It happened on a picnic at TCU where Ashley went to college. Billy had a surprise for her which she finally opened. It was a big box and inside was a football that asked her to marry him. Billy got down on one knee and after about 5 seconds that felt like an hour Ashley, said yes. We became Bashley on November 5, 2011. We got married in Saint Mary Cathedral in downtown Austin. Our reception was a ton of fun and it included a Piano Bar!

In episode 30 of the I Do, We Do podcast, we dig deeper into Collaboration. This subject has been a part of every episode we have done as it is the basis for the show, but we wanted to dedicate a whole episode to it. We talk about the difference between support and collaboration. We share why and how we collab with each other and of course share some of the challenges. We also discuss some collab killers that can kill any team. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked About in this Episode: The difference between supporting your partner and collaborating (or collabing!) with your partner Support looks like selling your partner’s books after a speaking engagement, taking photos, helping each other with events Collabing is utilizing you & your partner’s differences to achieve epic results The ways we collab This podcast, our business Bashley Collaborative Community events like the LEAD Summit and CTX Signing Day Why we weren’t collaborators early in our relationship We’ve learned our different styles and get better results when we embrace this Challenges we have faced Learning new things about each other that we may have never known Remembering to not settle into roles that come easy Our Collab Killers Read more about them at: https://www.bashleymoyer.com/blogpost/2018/8/5/relationship-and-collaboration-killers

Coincidence this episode is the latest we’ve ever published a podcast? Doubtful. It’s because we love to procrastinate. In this episode of I Do, We Do, we are talking all about dragging our heels, putting things off, delegating to our future selves, … all nice ways to say we have a tendency to procrastinate. You’ll hear all about our what procrastination looks like to each of us, our key triggers, and our methods for overcoming. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked About in this Episode: Why each of us has a tendency to procrastinate For Billy, it's because he does his best work under pressure and possibly has undiagnosed ADD For Ashley, its because she is and efficient worker but always says “Oh, that only takes me 15 minutes to do. I can always do it later.” Our biggest triggers for procrastination Our schedules - Ashley procrastinates when her schedule is too open. Billy is the opposite and procrastinates when he has a busy schedule and too much is on his plate No deadlines - if it isn’t urgent or have a clear deadline, Billy will continue to put it off No vision for final result - Ashley won’t spend time on a project without knowing the final result because she views it as a possible waste of her time Our methods for overcoming procrastination Accountability partners - We have both given each other permission to hold ourselves accountable David Allen’s Getting Things Done method & bullet journaling Breaking tasks down into smaller ones Scheduling time to work on projects & tasks

As Gandhi once said “The best way to lose yourself is in service to others.” Service & community involvement was a way we initially connected in our relationship and continues to be a value we share together. In this episode, we share where our passion for service comes from, what issues we care most about, and how we continue to lean in to leadership roles in our community. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked about in this Episode: Where our passion for service comes from For Ashley, volunteer and philanthropy weren't words that were used regularly by her parents but everything was about gratitude Thank you cards for the holidays were written on Christmas Day Her parents helped her understand that there are people who are less fortunate Excess wasn’t a thing, toys & games that were still very loved would be donated In high school, volunteering was a way to get out of the house but she slowly learned in importance For Billy, service was important at an early age came from his mother’s work as a social worker He would work at senior centers with her or deliver Meals on Wheels with parents His Catholic education plays a role in this because the faith is rooted in social justice What issues we are most passionate about We don’t volunteer to just volunteer, we want to make an impact Education & learning is at the center of many of our commitments We love seeing others grow and develop into leaders How service continues to be a way we come together How service initially brought us together How we know when the other person’s skill set is more needed for each of our commitments Our desire to serve on a board together How you should always gain something some service You should be gaining a new relationship, a new perspective, or a positive feeling How we have learned to lean in to leadership roles The key for both of us has been to identifying gaps and filling them Simply showing up shows commitment Being out in the community and understanding other people’s problems

We’re getting vulnerable as we discuss our struggles to see ourselves as the leaders as others see us. Billy first struggled with identity when he started his business and hired his dad (who he also shares a name with!). Ashley’s struggle with identity came when we first got married. We now embrace our roles as leaders in our community but have moments of weakness when Imposter Syndrome sneaks in. We share the ways we have overcome this and how we continue to step up/lean in as leaders. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked about in this Episode: How Ashley struggled with identity early in our relationship Ashley moved to Austin, TX for Billy and early on was being introduced or recognized by others as Billy’s significant other Billy didn’t always understand but encouraged her to get out and create her own identity Through new jobs, Ashley found more of her identity because they pushed her out in the Austin community Billy reflects on similar situations with struggling with identity When he started his business, he sold his dad to clients and hid behind him On the rare occasion they work with clients together now, Billy still defers to his dad despite both being seen as leadership experts Also, as the youngest of 4 siblings Billy often had to live up to great expectations from teachers The comparisons served as motivation to be his best unique self How Imposter Syndrome snuck in years later for Ashley Ashley struggled with accepting public recognition for her leadership in Austin It was hard to hear encouragement from her mom and Billy, but a colleague motivated her to think “if you aren’t recognizing yourself as a leader, what is the example you are setting for everyone else who looks up to you?” Billy’s turning point in his leadership journey At a young age, Billy was asked to put together a board of young professionals for a local university Now thinks back, and says “Ok, he believed in me, that means I can handle pretty much anything” How leaders need to continue to step up Embrace the leadership roles others put you in Recognize the voices that are missing from the conversation and invite them in As leaders, we need to build up other leaders Stop finding reasons to say no, and just say YES

Be excited for your partner’s dreams. Push them. It’s okay to question them a little bit, but don’t tear them down right away.” Ashley is motivated by Will Smith’s recent YouTube video, because he preaches the importance of how you should do things that scare you so that you’ll grow   “If you can be disciplined and write down everything you truly want to do and discuss it with your partner, it leads to a lot of “ah-hah” moments.” “It’s not about whether you need more of in life, because you should be happy with who you are and where you are. This is about whether or not you want something more and if you want more then you really are searching for growth.”   

In this episode of I Do, We Do, we discuss lifelong learning. Learning didn’t stop for us when we walked across the stage for our high school diplomas, bachelor’s degree, or master’s degree. Learning is a key value of ours as a couple. To grow together, we constantly challenge ourselves, to grow more, and to learn more. It takes an investment in time and financial resources.

In this episode of I Do, We Do, we discuss our Enneagram personality types. We aren’t too familiar with this test, but so many people have been asking us what our Enneagram types are so we thought we would give it a try. We have different Enneagram types. Shocking, right? In this episode, we each share the strengths and weaknesses that our types bring to the table. We reflect and evaluate how accurate/inaccurate the characteristics of our types are and we get a little vulnerable. Our types complement each other and confirm that we really are better together. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked About in this Episode: We each discuss the general strengths and weaknesses of our Enneagram Types Billy is a Type 8 (The Challenger) “the powerful, dominating type: self-confident, decisive, willful and confrontational” strong, assertive, resourceful, independent, determined, action-oriented, pragmatic, competitive, straight-talking, shrewd, and insistent 8s love to challenge norms and people 8s take on big challenges to see if they can pull off the impossible or turn a hopeless cause into a great success. 8s believe that they can fix everything “People cannot be fixed. You don’t fix people. You can fix dogs.” can be too controlling Ashley is a Type 2 (The Helper) “the caring, interpersonal type: generous, demonstrative, people-pleasing, and possessive” Types 2s exemplify the desire to feel loved, to connect with others in a heartfelt way, and to be a source of benevolence and love in our world Types 2s are the easily the most people-oriented of the enneagram Type 2s want to share the good in their lives and genuinely enjoy supporting others through the attention and care 2s can be clingy, worrisome, insincere, and possessive 2s can get into denial about the extent of their own needs while insisting that their only concern is taking care of others 2s tend to take care of others too much that they can sometimes forget to take care of themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally 2s want to have a unique place in others lives and know privileged information about others that no one else know. 2s want to be regarded as others’ best friends  We each share and discuss our “hidden side” of our enneagram types Types 8s are “affected by the reactions that those closest to them far more than what they want to lead on. They often expect that others will dislike or reject them and so they are profoundly touched sentimentally when they feel like someone they care about truly understands them and loves them.” Types 2s appear to feel at ease with others and to be a source of emotional sustenance for the people in their lives, but they themselves also suffer from well hidden feelings of rejection. 2s want or expect a thank you in return when supporting or helping others We talk about how the type 8 and type 2 work together in a relationship Billy likes to get results through people and Ashley likes to get results with people we both are action-oriented we both want a personal impact on our environment we both like results, but we like seeing it in different ways 8s often bask in the glow of 2s affection and 2s truly enjoy 8s strengths and efforts We discuss the trouble spots that our enneagram types bring in a relationship Billy mentions that 8s “act out difficult psychological issues, rages, binges, and/or performs acts of revenge” Ashley mentions that 2s can be “hovering around and not giving the other adequate space.” 2s expect their partner to do a lot of mind-reading for whenever they feel upset rather than just explicitly tell their partner that they are upset Enneagram: to work with your significant other or to learn how to better communicate with each other DISC: to help know the people you’ll work with on a team in a business setting Myers-Briggs: for personality assessment

In this episode of I Do, We Do, we dig into the important topic of networking. We have networked our way to success in our careers and we share more about how, why and where we network. We have different networking styles and we discuss how we use those styles to our advantage, including tips for introverts and extroverts. We have learned that we are more successful when we work together in networking, as always we are better together. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked About in this Episode: We share a great 5 star review from a listener: “If you are wanting some advice on how to work with someone who’s the complete opposite of you-whether it be in a relationship, a working relationship, a group project, ect.--- then this is the podcast for you, because Billy and Ashley share how they work together everyday despite their difference in terms of personality, lifestyle, jobs, and the fact that they share one car.” Networking is not just about self-promotion even though we joked about that. It is about connecting with people When we network together, we often divide and conquer A recent example is when at an event Billy was talking to someone and Ashley to someone else and Billy knew the person he was talking to needed to meet Ashley so he made the connection We use our different styles to our advantage when networking together Billy shared his rules on successful networking as an introvert Get there early, look for open conversations, sit down, have a plan Invite people to coffee, where you excel better one on one Less is more Getting to events early is one area where we disagree and sometimes have conflict Billy needs to get places early and Ashley doesn’t always place a high value on it Communication, patience and acceptance is key here Ashley shares some thoughts on networking from an extrovert Slow down - She often tries to do too much, to talk to too many people - she gets too excited! Remind yourself to listen - If you are dominating conversations you are not networking successfully Ask questions - Allow people to talk about themselves by asking them questions Where we network - Finding like-minded people is key, but you also should challenge yourself Alumni groups - TCU Alumni for Ashley, St. Edward’s Alumni for Billy - this is an easy place to network with like minded people Professional associations - There are associations for everything! Chambers - Billy and Ashley are both a part of the Austin Young Chamber Ubers!! Everywhere Use technology for follow-up not to network Networking has helped us build successful careers and become active in the community Billy built his entire business through networking We have both gotten business, sponsors and community involvement opportunities from networking We love building relationships with people and we love it even more when we are doing it together. We are better together! Remember that connection is key and networking is not about you, it’s about helping other people accomplish their goals!

In this episode of I Do, We Do, we share three celebrity powerhouse teams of two who we admire. Two of the three duos we profile show our differences and the other is one we both totally agree on. These three couples can definitely be considered power couples in the old definition, but we believe they fall into the label we prefer, powerhouse teams of two. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked About in this Episode: In our last episode, we redefined the phrase Power Couple and shared the phrase we prefer Powerhouse Team of Two The ultimate team of two is Michelle and Barack Obama But we save talking about them in detail for a future episode Ashley shares the first celebrity couple we admire, The Carters - Beyonce and Jay Z They are a great example of the original definition of a Power Couple as they are both independently successful They have chosen to live their lives together and are proving to be even better together They have worked through challenges We believe they have similar styles and/or personalities Billy shares the next duo - Julie and Zach Ertz Julie Ertz is a professional soccer player and Zach plays football of the Philadelphia Eagles They met in college and are both successful independent from each other but they are coming together more and more Julie had a moment go viral when she found out Zach was going to the Super Bowl after her own soccer match - This was the ultimate sign of support Supporting each other is so important in a relationship, you cannot collaborate without first support the other person Billy picks athletes and Ashley picks musicians - this is a big difference for them The last couple we chat about is one we totally agree on - Chip and Joanna Gaines Billy grew up in Waco and has seen how Chip and Joanna have transformed the city - People now are visiting Waco and moving to Waco Chip and Joanna are like peanut butter and jelly - They seem to be opposites like us who fill in each other’s gaps Chip is a dreamer, Joanna is more detailed Joanna is creative and Chip makes her creations a reality They bring out the best in each other

In this episode of I Do, We Do, we try to redefine the phrase “Power Couples.” This has been used in the past by others to describe us, but we aren’t that comfortable with the label. We are trying to redefine Power Couples because we aren’t in love with the word “power” and we don’t like that people too often consider them perfect relationships. We chat about how we have worked to become a Powerhouse Team of Two who embraces our differences to be better together. Music “Sunny” by Bensound.com. What We Talked About in this Episode: People have referred to us as a Power Couple in the past, but we don’t love the label Michelle and Barack Obama are the ultimate Power Couple Power seems like a word for a dictator or for Frank Underwood on House of Cards Celebrities are more often considered Power Couples and sometimes it refers to a perfect relationship which is something we don’t like It’s truest definition is - a couple consisting of two people who are each successful We started to embrace the label a bit when a friend reminded us of the positive influence that could come from the label We prefer Powerhouse Team of Two As a Team of Two, Billy handle the details, Ashley sometimes handles the fun…Billy helps Ashley tighten up, Ashley helps Billy lighten up Doesn’t have to be a romantic relationship - Billy teaches his clients about how to become an effective Team of Two In a Team of Two 1+1 no longer equals 2, it equals 3 - It creates a multiplier Diversity is so important in our world today, success comes when you have DIFFERENT people working together - All of the SAME people working together leads to poor results and not much fun This is a phrase we have coined because although we are each successful independent of each other, we are way better together We choose to come together on projects and we are able to get amazing results A Team of Two is two different people coming together to achieve more A few things we do to be a Powerhouse Team of Two - “Our house is a whole lot more powerful with the two of us in it" We do goals check-ins often to ensure we are working towards what we want to achieve together “You should really try to have goals check-ins with your partner…whether it’s your married partner or your partner at work, or whoever it is, how often are you checking in on the goals that you have?” We constantly communicate with each to ensure we are not off track, to brainstorm ideas and most importantly to problem solve We fully support each other and embrace each others individualism In our next episode, we will look at some of our favorite Powerhouse Teams of Two

In this episode of I Do, We Do, we talk about one of our favorite subjects… Goal Setting. We share why we set goals and how. We believe setting goals together ensures that we are always growing together rather than apart. Billy has a long history with goal setting. Ashley drank the kool-aid and together we consider setting and achieving goals one of our greatest and most important collabs.

What We Talked About in this Episode: Billy went through his first goal setting program when he was just four-years-old He has continued learning about goal setting and teaching others about the subject ever since Paul J. Meyer, the founder of the personal development industry said, “If you are not making the progress you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.” Goals bring out the best in us. Ashley shares the story of Billy asking her about her goals and sharing his goals when they first met Some companions from Billy’s past were turned off by this, but Ashley was intrigued and of course stuck around to learn more Ashley shares more about her own personal thoughts on goal setting and how they have changed with Billy Ashley is go with the flow, Billy is the planner But we both enjoy setting goals. The goal setting process begins with a Dream List This is how we got started goal setting together and they continue adding to their list every year. A Dream List is exactly what it sounds like. Some call it a bucket list. This is simply all the things you want to do in your life together. Next comes creating a short list of goals - no more than 10 We do this every year as well. We start by setting individual goals and then coming together for a date night to share the goals and work on our combined list. Through this process especially, it is important that we fully support one another. There are no stupid goals. This should be a real discussion. What do we really want to accomplish together over the next year? What are the benefits of the goal? What obstacles stand in our way? What steps need to be taken to achieve it? Set challenging goals together that are realistic There are no unrealistic goals just some really bad target dates. Goal setting is supposed to be uncomfortable. Goal setting begins with an awareness of where you are right now and a desire to change your future together Goals are a prelude to action, they are a course to take; they are an expression of your strengths; they are an exercise of your desire for becoming better together Growing together is a choice all partners must make Growing apart is an excuse.

In this episode of I Do, We Do, we interview our very first duo, Bill and Rose Moyer. They are one of the duo’s we admire most and they happen to be Billy’s parents. We chat with them about their different careers, interests and styles and how they have been better together for 40 years! We also discuss the important of growing together rather than growing apart. About Bill and Rose Moyer: Bill and Rose have been married for 40 years. They have four grown kids and eight grandkids. They have always had different careers and interests, but they have made the choice to grow together. Bill works with Billy in SOS Leadership, that they founded together. He has written four books and is one of the top leadership minds in the world. Rose has dedicated her life to social work, mostly serving the elderly. She spent 20 plus years working at Meals on Wheels. What We Discussed in this Interview: Since we’re about to hit our seven year anniversary, we had Bill and Rose reflect on where they were at their seven year anniversary We asked if they consider themselves a couple that’s very different from each other or if they’re more like two peas in a pod In response, Bill and Rose claim that at first, early in their relationship, they were opposites in terms of personality, behavior, and styles based on the DISC Assessment. Now, they are two peas in a pod that finish each other’s sentences. We asked them how they built their relationship from being complete opposites to now being two peas in a pod “Through the years, you get to the point where you just want to be together and so you kind of figure out that by being together sometimes you may do things you may not want to do and sometimes you may try something new and you may think ‘Oh my gosh! That’s really good. I want to keep on doing that.’” We asked them to provide some examples of things that they use to not be crazy about that the other was crazy about in the early years of their marriage and are now crazy about because of the other Rose did not care about sports at all in the beginning years, now she loves sports. Bill use to not be crazy about symphonies, quiet walks, theater, etc and now enjoys all of those things. We how they collaborate with each other within and outside of their careers They support each other in the work they do. They also have worked closely together outside of their careers when they collaborated as youth ministers at their church. This was something they were both passionate about and that they made the decision to do together even though it was like a second job. They loved it! We asked them to describe their process of how they make crucial decisions together “We use the Ben Franklin method,” Bill said. “Where you draw the a line in the middle of a piece of paper and list the pros and cons and talk it out through there; even though one side may be bigger than the other, sometimes things are weighted in a different way, so we look at the importance of that.” They consider logic more so than emotion when it comes to decision-making. “We’re always going to have different ideas, opinions, desires, but it all comes down to why we exist and what our purpose is, and how can we walk that journey together to work it out.” We discussed how Bill and Rose choose to grow together rather than grow apart “If you don’t pay attention to where you are going together, it’s so easy that when you go one degree off and go too far down the road to where you and your partner can have “irreconcilable differences,” which leads to a split. They want to resolve and work through their differences no matter how many differences they may have with each other. Music "Sunny" from Bensound.com.

In this episode of I Do, We Do, we discuss how competition negatively impacts relationships. Billy is very competitive, Ashley is not. That has led to conflict in the past when playing games against each other. We have come to realize that competition and scorekeeping really kill relationships because instead of I Do, We Do it becomes I Did, You Didn’t. Instead of For Better or Worse it is “I’m better, you’re worse.” Check us out at BashleyMoyer.com/podcast. WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE: We discussed that the easiest way we see competition in our relationship is in different games that we play We mentioned how Ashley is a big believer in that “you play games to have fun” whereas Billy believes that you play games for the one and only reason, which is to win We discussed that “the number one killer in a team/relationship is competition” You need to oppose the idea/situation where it could involve teammate vs. teammate, husband vs. wife, or partner vs. partner, because you want to go into the mindset that the team needs to win, not one person over the other eventually someone loses in  a competition (which could increase tension within the relationship) We discussed how keeping score is a killer as well Ashley discussed how growing up, her and her sister had to evenly split up the house chores/duties. It wasn’t fair if Ashley cooked dinner and then had to wash the dishes the same night. It wasn’t fair if Ashley did two chores and her sister did zero. Billy talked about how he learn early on from his Dad about the danger of keeping score in relationships, even though he loves keeping score in all other competitions. We discussed how keeping score can also happen with accomplishments, but really in a partnership there are not individual accomplishments. It all is about us. “One person’s win, success, and/or accomplishment is the other’s as well in a relationship.” One employee’s success in a business indicates that the business is successful too “You shouldn’t compare yourself to anyone” We discussed how compromise is key “If compromise is difficult for you in a relationship regardless, maybe there’s a little too much competition there.” Music "Sunny" from Bensound.com.  

We are busy bodies. We are always going somewhere or doing something. We have different jobs usually in different locations. How do we manage to share one car? In this episode of I Do, We Do, we discuss why we decided to share one car as a busy couple that likes to move and transport from place-to-place a lot, why we continue to share one car, and how we make it work. WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE: We discuss how we manage sharing one car We have flexible jobs that enable us to share one car and lets us choose where their offices can be Sharing one car allows us to spend extra time together We use effective communication and planning with each other throughout the day since we both have each other’s calendars on hand We discuss the challenges that we face sharing one car One of us rear-ended someone earlier this year and we planned to drive to Dallas the following morning for a flight There was a time when one wasn’t ready for wherever she needed to be We discussed the pros of having one car Protecting the environment    Forces communication Costs We discussed the cons of having one car: Emergencies More time together (can be a con for people that don’t like spending time together, not us though!) limited alone time   WHAT WE USE TO MAKE SHARING ONE CAR POSSIBLE: Google Calendar Car2Go Uber and Lyft Capital Metro Rail in Austin Carvana - Bought a car through them Music "Sunny" by Bensound.com

In this episode of I Do, We Do, we discuss our different styles using the DISC Assessment. We discuss how our differences make us stronger as a couple and make it easier to work together and be successful when we work together. The DISC Assessment measures an individual’s work style. It looks at how you act, how you get results, how you communicate, etc. WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE: D – Dominant, I – Influencing, S - Steadiness, C – Compliance We go through the first couple of pages of our DISC reports and exchange which information was spot-on accurate about each other and elaborate by providing specific examples We look at the ways we should communicate with each other (i.e. Ashley likes to talk for social purposes, whereas Billy likes to “stick to business—let him decide if he wants to talk socially.”) “I think we both feel anger equally, but I think we express it in different ways.” (i.e. raising your voice, or cry privately to self) Discussed ways NOT to communicate with each other Billy doesn’t like being told what to do We talk a lot about how the DISC Assessment kind of highlights our differences when looking at each other’s styles “Opposites don’t attract, but they complete each other” “Conflict arises when values and motivators (how or what motivates an individual) differ between two people” “We use our differences to be effective and better together.” Music "Sunny" from Bensound.com
