Today, I'm chatting with Chris and Melissa Smith, the power couple behind Family Brand.

Chris and Melissa's story is one of transformation—they were on the brink of divorce in their fourth year of marriage, but nearly 20 years later, they now have a thriving family with five incredible children.

They realized that as entrepreneurs, we often invest so much time and money into the brand, strategy, and culture of our businesses... but in the process, our families end up taking a back seat. Don’t our families deserve the same intentionality and commitment we give to our businesses?

That realization led Chris and Melissa to write a different story for their family. They founded Family Brand to help other families create a culture by design (not by default), define and live by powerful core values, and craft a clear vision for the future.

In this episode, you'll discover practical tips and inspiring insights to help you become a better parent, a more supportive spouse, and build a stronger, more united family. If you're ready to transform your family life, this conversation is a must-listen.

3 of the biggest insights from Chris & Melissa Smith …

• Decide your family values before someone else does it for you – learn how to use the “Language Creates” concept to get your family to truly buy in!

• Why you should model your family culture after In-N-Out Burger instead of McDonalds if you want true success for your family.

• The power of rituals to create (and maintain) your family’s identity – and why research shows that families who eat together don’t just stay together but are also more successful and happier!

Today I’m sharing something that I’ve never talked about publicly: my personal journey with therapy and how it helped to save my marriage.

The truth is, in the early days of Triad, when I was busy putting my blood, sweat and tears into helping our team get the company off the ground...I was leaving a void at home and not showing up as the husband and father I needed to be.

I often felt like there just wasn't enough of me to go around.

Therapy is what helped me get things back on track – including being a better entrepreneur, father and husband. Essentially practicing what we preach when it comes to Doing Business and Doing Life.

That’s why I’m going deep today and sharing some intimate details and key lessons from my own therapy journey. My hope is that it will help you spot opportunities where you can also level up and start doing business and life even better.

3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson …

• A powerful story highlighting Michael Hyatt’s vulnerability and success in therapy – and how that taught me that true strength lies in seeking help.

• Why nobody is willing to follow volatile leadership, and how therapy gives you the tools to become a calm and confident leader instead.

• Why I believe therapy needs a massive rebrand – without the stigma! Going to therapy is not a sign of weakness, it’s just another form of coaching and a giant step toward becoming the best version of yourself.
