In this episode of Building a Life and Business Together, Stephanie and I sit down to talk about a significant shift that happened for her when we attended Empowered Podcasting in North Carolina. Stephanie went into the event feeling a little like she was simply tagging along with me. She had made a commitment earlier this year to get back into rooms with people, rebuild her business, return to mastermind groups and coaching, stay consistent with her podcast, and begin creating momentum in this next season of her life. But somewhere during that weekend, something changed. She realized, "I belong here." After more than 20 years of podcasting, along with her experience as a coach, speaker, and mastermind facilitator, she stopped seeing herself as someone who was merely accompanying me to a conference and began seeing the people in that room as her peers. That realization opened the door to some meaningful conversations, new relationships, and even an invitation for Stephanie to get back on stage and speak at PodIndy in November. We also spend a significant portion of this episode talking about what has become my favorite technology purchase of 2026, the PLAUD Note Pro. I've been using mine constantly to capture daily reflections, coaching insights, conference conversations, ideas that come up while Stephanie and I are walking or driving, and anything else I know I may want to revisit later. Stephanie began wondering if she should have one of her own. Now that she does, she shares some of the ways she's already using it, including: Creating transcripts of her podcast episodes Capturing podcast ideas while she's driving Recording ideas and next steps for projects around the house Remembering important conversations and decisions Taking better notes from appointments and other conversations Capturing thoughts in the moment before they disappear We also talk about how having transcripts of our conversations allows each of us to bring those conversations into our own ChatGPT environments and continue thinking through what came up long after the original conversation is over. And, in full disclosure, we explain exactly how Stephanie and I ended up receiving complimentary PLAUD Note Pros after I had already spent months using, recommending, and loving the one I had purchased at full price.

Stephanie and I are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Thirty years. As we thought about how we wanted to mark this milestone, I had the idea of sitting down together with 30 questions designed to help us reflect on the life we have built, the challenges we have navigated, the ways we have changed, and what we have learned about love and partnership along the way. Neither of us reviewed the questions ahead of time. That turned out to be part of what made this conversation so meaningful. Some questions immediately opened the door to stories we had not talked about in years. Some caused us to see our past differently. A few contained assumptions we completely rejected, which led to conversations that were probably more revealing than the questions themselves. We talked about the two young people who got married 30 years ago and what they understood, and misunderstood, about love. We reflected on the financial struggles of our early years, including digging through our change jar to buy gasoline with pennies. We talked about becoming parents, the mistakes we made, the parenting philosophies we eventually rejected, and our realization that we were not simply raising children. We were raising adults. We revisited the season when I left the insurance business and we went all in on building our own business, including the enormous financial and emotional pressure that decision created. We talked about how our beliefs have changed, how our understanding of marriage has changed, and how we have learned to give each other the freedom to continue becoming who we are. One of the themes that emerged throughout the conversation is that neither of us needs the other to remain the person we used to be. Stephanie is not simply my wife. I am not simply her husband. Neither of us completes the other because neither of us is incomplete. Instead, we have created a relationship where we can continue growing, changing, exploring, and becoming while choosing to walk through life together. There is one phrase from this conversation that may stay with me more than anything else. Recently, while Stephanie and I were navigating a particularly difficult and emotionally charged situation, I asked her, “Are we good?” Her response was: “We’re never not good.” That phrase captures something about our marriage that I had never been able to articulate quite that way before. Circumstances change. Money changes. Health changes. Children grow up. Beliefs evolve. Careers shift. Life brings things we could never predict. But our relationship is not built on those surface-level circumstances. As we approached the final question, we were asked to imagine sitting together on our 60th wedding anniversary and looking back on the next 30 years. What would need to happen for us to consider that second half of our life extraordinary? My answer ultimately became very simple. I have no idea what the next 30 years will bring. But if I have the opportunity to partner with Stephanie through all of it, that will be extraordinary. This episode is a special crossover episode of Building a Life and Business Together, The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, and Thriving Mosaic. I hope our conversation encourages you to think about the relationships, choices, changes, and experiences that are shaping your own life. And perhaps it will even inspire you to sit down with someone you love and ask a few questions of your own.

A lot has changed since our last episode. Meagan and Jacob closed on their first home Matthew returned from his month in Japan And McKenna signed the lease for her apartment in Texas. We share the latest updates and look ahead to our upcoming U-Haul adventure to Fort Worth. I also share how Next Level Mastermind: Momentum moved from an early idea to its first official meeting in just four weeks. We talk about the three-month initial commitment The faster-paced hot-seat format And the emerging Momentum framework that helps people move from clarity and insight into committed, calendared action. Stephanie shares that she has begun creating her own personal manifesto. She reflects on protecting her highest-energy hours for the work she wants to pursue and reports that she has already completed five of the eight personal connections she committed to making during July. Learn More About Manifestos In Episode 829 of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, I share the seven-day process I used to create my personal manifesto and how it became a living declaration of who I am becoming, what I am devoted to, and how I want to live.

In this episode, Stephanie and I invite you to join us on a beautiful morning walk in Hebron, Kentucky. It just so happened to be episode 61, recorded on a 61-degree morning in the middle of June, which felt like the perfect way to begin. We start by talking about the rhythm of this monthly show and how I am continuing to refine my ideal workweek. One of the big shifts I am making is setting aside Wednesday afternoons for podcast production, specifically for Podcast Answer Man and The Cliff Ravenscraft Show. Of course, as soon as I make that decision, real life immediately gives me a chance to test whether the ideal calendar can hold up. The heart of this episode is our conversation about Matthew leaving for Japan. Stephanie and I reflect on his path from Western Kentucky University, to working at DHL, to becoming a bus driver, to returning to school at Northern Kentucky University with a focus on mathematics, education, and Japanese. We talk about the courage, initiative, and leadership he has shown, especially as he helped coordinate travel plans with the other students in his study abroad group. There is something deeply moving about watching one of your adult children step into a larger vision for their life. Matthew is not just thinking about a single trip to Japan. He is thinking about possibilities, teaching, language, culture, student teaching abroad, and a future that has far more options than he once imagined. As his parents, we are both incredibly proud and deeply aware of how much we have enjoyed having him with us in this season. We also talk about our renewed commitment to walking together, how these daily walks are helping us stay connected, and how some of our best conversations happen when we are moving. I share how I have been using my Plaud Note Pro to capture these conversations, reflections, action items, and ideas that might otherwise be forgotten once the normal rhythm of the day begins. Toward the end of the episode, I share about the launch of Next Level Mastermind: Momentum, a new 90-day mastermind experience for people who are ready for clarity, consistency, accountability, and forward movement, but who may not yet be ready for the full established entrepreneur mastermind experience. This new offer has created a lot of fresh energy and clarity for me as I continue refining the way I serve people in this season. We close by celebrating all three of our children and the significant transitions happening in their lives. Megan and Jacob are looking for their first home. McKenna is preparing for her next chapter in Texas. Matthew is beginning a month-long adventure in Japan. And through it all, Stephanie and I are noticing just how aligned life feels right now as we continue building our life and business together.

In this episode, Stephanie and I share the full story of McKenna’s college graduation weekend and our trip to Fort Worth, Texas, as she prepares for law school at Texas A&M. We talked about the smaller social work ceremony at Western Kentucky University, where McKenna received multiple honors, including recognition for her research work and the Outstanding BSW Award for the Bowling Green campus. Stephanie shared what it felt like to hear one of McKenna’s professors describe her as a “once in a decade student,” and we both reflected on the joy of seeing McKenna recognized for the hard work, character, and self-motivation she has carried for years. We also shared about the larger graduation ceremony, the special moment when the dean hugged McKenna as she received her diploma, and the deep gratitude we felt watching all three of our kids together. One of Stephanie’s favorite moments was seeing Meagan, Matthew, and McKenna walking together, laughing with each other after the ceremony. From there, we talked about our trip to Fort Worth to tour Texas A&M School of Law and look at apartments with McKenna. The law school visit gave us both even more confidence that this is the right next step for her. We were impressed by the support system, the Aggie Network, the career placement focus, and the way the school seems deeply invested in the success of its students beyond graduation. We also shared a few travel stories from the trip, including the rental car adventure, apartment hunting, breakfast with Mark Mason, and the realization that we will probably be flying to Texas a lot over the next three years. This episode is really a family update, a graduation celebration, and a reflection on the transition from one meaningful season of parenting into the next.

In this episode, Stephanie and I head out for a walk and simply bring you along for the conversation. We talk about getting back into a rhythm of daily walks, shifting away from the gym, and what it’s been like to be more active again after a slower season. Stephanie shares an update on her sourdough journey, including why it’s been on pause and what might be coming next. We also talk about a show we’ve been watching called Shrinking, how it surprised us, and why we’ve enjoyed the evolution of the story across seasons. That leads into a brief conversation about Outlander and what it’s been like watching the current season unfold. From there, the conversation shifts into what’s happening in our world right now. We’ve got a lot coming up with family, including McKenna’s graduation, travel plans, hosting guests, and even a trip to Texas to look for an apartment as she prepares for law school. Stephanie shares what it’s been like navigating the tension between doing the things she enjoys and keeping up with the things that need to get done around the house. That leads into a real, unscripted conversation about how we each think about planning, responsibility, and decision making in the middle of a full life. I also talk a bit about a new system I’ve been experimenting with that I call my Insight Engine, and how it’s helping me capture ideas, reflect on coaching conversations, and generate content in a way that feels natural and sustainable. More than anything, this episode is just a snapshot of our life right now. The conversations we’re having, the things we’re thinking about, and the season we’re in. Thanks for being here and listening in.

In this episode, Stephanie and I recorded while out on a walk on the first day of spring, and the conversation naturally unfolded into what life has looked like for each of us over the past few weeks. Stephanie shared her continued journey with sourdough, including what it took to finally get her starter to thrive after multiple failed attempts. What stood out to me was how much of that process came down to filtering through conflicting advice, trusting her own observations, and sticking with it long enough to see results. Now she’s not only baking consistently but experimenting with new recipes and even sharing her starter with others. For me, I talked about returning to a 5am wake-up routine and how important those early, quiet hours are for reading, reflection, and creative thinking. I shared how reading Company of One helped me gain deeper clarity about who I’m really here to serve. Solopreneurs who genuinely enjoy working in their business and aren’t driven by scaling, exiting, or early retirement. I also talked about the book Big Magic and how it sparked something significant for me. The idea that creative work asks for commitment led me to make a personal decision. I’ve made a contract with myself to write a book on mastermind groups. That decision immediately led to new clarity, new ideas, and even unexpected conversations opening up around the Next Level Mastermind. We also touched on the relaunch of the mastermind, what we’re seeing so far, and how I’m thinking about creating a space that supports people from diverse backgrounds while keeping the focus on shared growth, contribution, and meaningful work. As always, this episode is a snapshot of where we are right now. What we’re learning, what we’re experimenting with, and how we’re continuing to build a life and business together.

In this episode of Building a Life and Business Together, Stephanie and I sit down for one of our classic wide-ranging conversations. It starts, as many things do lately, with sourdough bread and quickly expands into what we’ve been watching, reading, building, and re-shaping in our life and business. Stephanie shares what she’s been learning through her deep dive into sourdough. Not just the mechanics, but the frustration of conflicting advice, the patience required, and the realization that there is no single “perfect” method. I reflect on how much that mirrors so many creative and entrepreneurial pursuits. You eventually figure out what works for you, but not without experimentation. From there, we talk about our recent obsession with murder mysteries. Netflix has been fueling that habit, from Agatha Christie-inspired stories to multiple Harlan Coben adaptations. We share which shows we loved, which ones felt too dark, and why certain stories pull us in while others leave us feeling drained. We also talk about momentum. Stephanie’s decision to move her podcast from bi-weekly to weekly. The return of my Next Level Mastermind. The re-commitment to Podcast Answer Man. And the quiet but meaningful shifts happening behind the scenes that signal clarity, confidence, and forward motion. Along the way, we share family moments, health choices, reading habits, and a few very human stories that remind us how much life is actually happening in between the “big” things. As always, this is an honest snapshot of where we are right now. The experiments. The rhythms. The joy. And the intentional choices that shape the life and business we’re building together. Topics We Discuss Stephanie’s sourdough journey and the reality of learning through trial and error Why “foolproof” online advice often leaves out the middle steps How sourdough mirrors creativity, business, and personal growth Our recent run of murder mysteries and why we keep coming back to the genre Agatha Christie-inspired series and the appeal of classic whodunits Netflix shows based on Harlan Coben novels and which ones stood out Why some stories feel intriguing while others feel emotionally heavy Stephanie’s decision to commit to recording her podcast weekly How reading and everyday observations naturally create podcast topics The importance of having a reason to notice meaningful ideas Spending time with our adult kids and how those relationships have evolved A lunch mishap involving two Wings and Rings locations in different states Valentine’s Day plans, sourdough treats, and local finds Stephanie’s decision to eliminate Coke Zero at home for health reasons Blood pressure, caffeine awareness, and long-term lifestyle changes The return of the Next Level Mastermind and what that means for our business My renewed focus on weekly podcasting and relationship-driven work Falling back in love with reading and distraction-free e-ink devices Why weekends off feel different when you’re finally caught up The sense that momentum has truly shifted in this season of life Until next time, we encourage you to live your life on purpose.

In this episode, Stephanie and I sit down to catch up after a few days that took us in different directions physically, emotionally, and relationally. We talk about travel, family, friendships, personal goals, and the quiet moments that shape a shared. From baby showers and long drives to PodFest, legacy conversations, and unexpected affirmation, this episode is a reflection on how separate experiences can still deepen the life and business we are building together. Topics covered in this episode Stephanie’s trip to Tennessee for a baby shower and meaningful time with a lifelong friend Family time over the holidays and why protecting certain traditions still matters Stephanie’s reading goals for the year and creating space for personal joy Learning sourdough and embracing the patience required to grow something slowly Cliff’s return to PodFest and reconnecting with people who were a deep part of his early journey Conversations that stirred emotion, memory, and a sense of coming home Honoring legacy, relationships, and the impact that continues beyond visibility The experience of being seen in unexpected ways and what that unlocked internally How parallel journeys can still move a shared life forward together

This episode marks a milestone I never imagined when I first sat down in front of a microphone twenty years ago. Stephanie and I reflect on how podcasting began as a simple experiment in December 2005. At the time, it felt like just another hobby. I had plenty of those back then. Most of them burned hot for a season and quietly faded away. Podcasting was different. Neither of us knew it at the time, but it would become the one hobby that never died. We talk openly about those early days, including Stephanie’s hesitation to join me behind the microphone and the very real discomfort she felt at first. What started as her saying yes out of love and faith eventually turned into a shared rhythm that shaped our marriage, our family, and our work for decades. This conversation is also about growth. Personal growth. Emotional growth. The kind that only happens when you put your voice into the world and allow it to become a mirror. I share how podcasting revealed blind spots, challenged my people-pleasing tendencies, and stretched me in ways I could not have predicted. There were moments I wanted to quit. There was even a goodbye episode that almost became the end. It didn’t. Stephanie and I also talk about how life looks different now. Our kids are grown. The mental load of parenting has shifted. Our priorities are clearer. There is more peace, more awareness, and more intention behind how we use our time and energy. We reflect on why stepping away from Podcast Answer Man years ago was necessary. Leaving made room for growth that could not have happened otherwise. And now, looking back with clarity, we can see why returning makes sense in a way it never could have before. This episode is about honoring the journey. About recognizing that sometimes you have to walk away to become who you need to be. And about noticing the rare thing that keeps calling you back out of alignment. Twenty years later, we are still here. Still talking. Still creating. Still grateful. And that says something worth paying attention to.   Check Out PodcastingAtoZ.com

This month’s episode covers a lot of ground. Stephanie and I sit down and talk through what has shifted for us since the last time we recorded, and as it turns out, more has changed than either of us realized when we first sat down at the mics. I share why I’ve gone back to my early-morning routine at Planet Fitness and how those quiet hours in the car are helping me get into deep flow states again. We talk about the trade-offs that come with that choice, including the time Stephanie and I used to spend together on our morning walks. Stephanie opens up about the changes she’s been making at home, her cleaning rhythm, decorating for Christmas, and how she’s rebuilding habits that got disrupted years ago. We also talk about what we’re watching right now, including our attempt at Andor, my obsession with Pluribus, and our journey into Season 2 of Stranger Things. It ended up being a fun, honest, wide-ranging conversation that captures exactly where we are, right now, in the middle of life and business together.

In this episode of Building a Life and Business Together, Stephanie and I sit down to share a major update about the podcast, our creative rhythm, and the ongoing evolution of how we do life and business as a couple. Over the past several months, we’ve been recording our weekly “walk and talk” conversations, honest, unscripted episodes where we bring listeners into our personal reflections about marriage, business, and growth. These have been some of our favorite conversations to record, but after looking at how our creative energy and priorities have shifted, we’ve decided to make a change. Moving from Weekly to Monthly The big announcement is that we’re moving this show from a weekly release schedule to a monthly one. We absolutely love recording content together. However, I’ve gained new clarity about how I want to allocate my morning creative energy to the projects that move the business forward. Between recording, syncing audio tracks, editing, transcribing, crafting show notes, and publishing, each episode has required an additional 30–40 minutes of post-production. It’s not hard work, but it’s time that needs to be reprioritized toward the next chapter of what we’re building. We’ll now record and release each new episode between the 15th and 20th of every month, keeping it consistent but freeing up space for deeper focus. Stephanie and I both agree that a once-a-month rhythm will allow us to bring even more intentionality and quality to these episodes, because there’s never been a month in our lives where we didn’t have something meaningful to share. The Evolution of the Podcast Stephanie shares how Building a Life and Business Together originally grew out of her post-college-launch “identity crisis” after McKenna left for school. At that time, we wanted to recapture the creative synergy we had before COVID when we were building and producing together full-time. What started as a business-focused podcast for entrepreneurial couples naturally evolved into something more personal, conversations about life, partnership, and the day-to-day experiences of doing everything together for nearly thirty years. As Stephanie puts it, the first version of this show didn’t quite land. The new version, with our natural conversational flow, feels authentic and fun. Over time, it’s become less about strategy and more about sharing life as it happens. Shifting to monthly gives us the breathing room to let each new season of our life and business unfold before bringing it to the microphone. A Glimpse Into Our Current Season This episode also touches on a variety of personal and business updates: Family Life & Simple Joys: Stephanie talks about a heartwarming evening at the Cincinnati Zoo’s Halloween light display with my parents. Watching my mom’s childlike excitement at seventy years old was a highlight of the year and a reminder that joy can show up in the simplest shared experiences. Wildlife and Backyard Visitors: Stephanie shares her growing fascination with the deer who regularly visit our backyard, and why she’s resisting naming them (for now). My Amateur Radio Adventures: I give an update on my friendly competition with fellow ham operator Mark Volstad for the Decker Wildlife Management Area leaderboard. After a burst of activity and a few late-night logging sessions, I’m officially 1,000 QSOs ahead, though I know that may not last forever! Business Update - “Building an Online Business” Course: I talk about the completion of my new course, the clarity behind its offer, and how it integrates with my one-on-one coaching. The course package now includes two private 90-minute sessions with me, offering well over $3,000 in value for $2,000. It’s a perfect gateway for those who want to turn content creation into consistent profit. Why the Change Feels Right This new rhythm is about doing the right things at the right pace. Stephanie and I still love creating together. We just want to do it in a way that matches the current season of our life and business. We’ll keep sharing honest conversations, updates, and reflections every month right here on the podcast. Between now and then, we’ll continue to capture notes and ideas in our shared Apple Note titled “BLBT Topics,” so that each episode reflects the best of what’s unfolding in real time. If this episode resonated with you, or if you’ve been encouraged by the conversations we share here, we’d love to hear from you. Email me at [email protected] or email Stephanie at [email protected]. Until next time, keep living your life on purpose.

In this episode of Building a Life and Business Together, Stephanie and I share what we’ve each been working on and experiencing over the past week. I open the conversation with an exciting update on a long-awaited project: bringing my Building an Online Business course to completion. This course will become the foundation for much of my future messaging and marketing as I continue helping entrepreneurs build and grow their businesses to the next level. I also talk about the different versions of offers I’m currently considering and how they’ll fit into the bigger picture of what’s next for my coaching and course strategy. Stephanie shares about her most recent episode of The Thriving Mosaic podcast, episode 75, where she opens up about what it’s like to parent adult children. She also shares the mental shifts that helped her move through resistance and find her creative flow again , leading her back into content creation. I also talk about my weekend filled with amateur radio activity and the fun of going bowling with my dad and Matthew, a reminder of how much I value time spent together outside of work. We wrap up by reflecting on the season one finale of Blood of My Blood and sharing our thoughts on how the story concluded. It’s a grounded, personal episode that captures what life and business really look like when they unfold side by side.

In this episode of Building a Life and Business Together, Stephanie and I take you along for a relaxed fall walk and an unexpected creative adventure that unfolded over the weekend. We start with a simple reflection on what we love most about being self-employed, the freedom to take a Friday off for a spontaneous date day. That freedom, as it turns out, led straight into an experience that reignited a creative spark in a way I didn’t see coming. Stephanie shares her excitement over Taylor Swift’s latest album and how the theater release event was put together with lyric videos, behind-the-scenes clips, and Taylor’s commentary about her creative process. Hearing her talk about it reminded me of what happens when an artist gives themselves full permission to explore. Sitting there in that movie theater, I felt a wave of inspiration hit. Before the credits even rolled, I was jotting notes in my phone for something completely unexpected: a Scottish folk album. Back at home later that day, I went downstairs to my studio and opened Suno.ai. Two hours later, I had written and produced seven original tracks, complete with album art inspired by a photo I took in the Highlands of Scotland. The result became my new album, Highland Whispers. It’s a collection of modern Scottish folk songs that capture the same sense of beauty, mystery, and freedom I felt while driving through Glencoe years ago. I share two of those songs. It Will All Work Out can be heard in the middle of the episode and Highland Shadows can be heard at the very end. Lyrics and links to the full album are available at the bottom of these show notes. We also talk about the conversation that followed. Stephanie’s honest reaction to my process, the difference between “creating from scratch” and co-creating with new tools, and how technology can open doors for people who’ve always had music in their heart but not necessarily the traditional skills to bring it forward. I share why this project wasn’t about business strategy or branding at all. It was simply about creating for joy. From there, our walk turns toward everyday life again: our family outing to Homearama, where we explored seven custom-built homes and talked about design, personality, and what makes a space feel alive. And finally, I share a few updates on what’s happening inside my business such at the Building an Online Business course, possible new mastermind experiences, and what’s next on the creative horizon. Key Themes The freedom that comes with designing your own schedule. Inspiration as something you can’t plan for, but can make space for. How creativity and technology are blending in new ways. Doing things purely for joy, without attaching them to business outcomes. The importance of trusting your creative flow and letting it lead where it will. The Path Forward This episode is a reminder that inspiration rarely arrives when we’re forcing outcomes. It shows up in the in-between moments. When we stay open, anything can happen… even an entire Scottish folk album in a single afternoon.

In this episode of Building a Life and Business Together, Stephanie and I open up about what’s been happening in our personal lives and in our business. We start lightheartedly, talking about her excitement for an upcoming Taylor Swift release in theaters and our family’s long-standing tradition of attending Homearama. We even share a bit of our everyday banter, complete with neighborhood interruptions, geese crossings, and pizza talk. From there, the conversation takes a deeper turn. I reflect on the past couple of years in our business, specifically the financial ebbs we’ve experienced, the choices that led us here, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. I share candidly about my journey of shifting focus, experimenting with how I show up, and the impact that my spiritual exploration has had on my audience and income. Stephanie and I discuss the reality of walking through a long ebb season, what it’s taught us about authenticity, and how it’s led me to make a major decision: I’m shifting my professional focus back to the core audiences who first connected with my work, successful entrepreneurs, those in the struggle of building, and aspiring business owners. I unpack the importance of product-to-market fit, why I’ve decided to lean back into practical, actionable business strategy and mindset coaching, and how this change doesn’t mean abandoning depth or authenticity. Instead, it means meeting people where they are and guiding them from there. This episode is part behind-the-scenes reflection, part real-time pivot, and part encouragement for anyone who’s navigating seasons of transition in their own work. If you’ve ever wrestled with clarity, messaging, or wondering how to serve people in a way that connects, I think you’ll find this conversation both relatable and inspiring.
