Amanda is a serial entrepreneur and bestselling author; Phil is an award-winning creative director.
They split their year between Canada and Portugal, living abroad for three months each summer.
They believe success is rooted in intention, not just ambition.
The “Parachute Theory” is their mindset for taking risks and leaping before they feel ready.
Running a business as a couple takes boundaries, communication, and sometimes… a code word.
Flexibility in work hours fuels their creativity and productivity.
Family always comes first, and they schedule business around it, not the other way around.
They challenge the traditional definition of success, choosing connection and freedom over hustle.
Authenticity is their superpower: in marriage, in parenting, and in business.
Wealth isn’t just financial, it’s measured in time, love, and shared experience.
