How do you work together, live together, raise nine kids together, run a company together, and still like each other at the end of the day?

Welcome to Building Family Together. In Episode 1, Reggie and Tanora Polk introduce themselves and the show they have been building for years. After 25 years of marriage and 15 years running Polk and Associates Construction in Nashville, they open up the real rhythm of couplepreneurship. How they got started. The tension of working side by side. The framework Tanora calls the three Cs. What they do when they hit gridlock. And why their marriage will always be the bigger build.
