Going from owning multiple successful businesses, fancy cars, and homes to living in a van and couch surfing. How would your marriage survive this? Hopefully, you’ll never have to find out but you can listen to this week’s guests, Tim and Glori Winders, to find out how they did it.

The 2008 recession destroyed their real estate business and by 2013 lost the other businesses, filed for bankruptcy, lost their home, and moved into the van. Yes, there were some finger-pointing, arguments, and other challenges in their marriage. But ultimately, they pulled together, leaned on each other for strength, and came back stronger.

Even though they are professionally successful once again, they’ve chosen to live simply, be better stewards of their money, live in their motorhome Theo by choice, and make an impact. You’ll definitely want to hear their story.
