Summary:
In this episode, I sit down with Robert and Kay Lee Fukui to talk about how married entrepreneurs can build successful businesses without losing their marriages in the process. Robert spent 25 years in corporate marketing and sales before realizing he wanted something different. Kay Lee grew up in a family business and knew firsthand how easily work can take over home life. Together, they now coach other couples to balance business success with a healthy relationship. We talk about how their own experiences shaped their mission, why conflict isn’t the problem, and how clear boundaries can protect both marriage and business. They explain how weekly meetings, defined roles, and intentional communication keep stress from spilling over into family time. I also learn why hiring out bookkeeping might just save more marriages than counseling ever could.
Key Takeaways:
- Only about 6.7% of couples are both married and business owners, which creates unique challenges.
- Conflict can be healthy when handled well. Avoiding it makes things worse.
- Weekly business meetings help keep work out of personal time.
- Couples need to agree on roles and never contradict each other in front of employees.
- Outsourcing stressful tasks can protect both your relationship and your business.

“The business shouldn’t be the mistress in your marriage. Build your business, but don’t sacrifice your family to do it.” – Robert Fukui

Then he decided to practice what he preached. After years of seeing the need for video marketing, he started creating Explainer Videos for Busy Professionals in 2015. That part-time business is now a full-time business with proven systems and a team.
