What happens when a former teacher and a techie husband join forces to shake up early education?
In this feel-good, behind-the-scenes chat, Anita sits down with powerhouse couple Tam and Jez—founders of The Hive and alumni of the Fetti Mastermind—to talk about building a business, a baby, and a whole lot of buzz.
From beta launch wins to messy-in-the-middle lessons, this episode is equal parts strategy and heart. If you’ve ever dreamed of creating something meaningful with your partner (or pivoting into a business that feels more you), you’ll love this one.
In this episode, we chat through:
- How Tam went from teacher to tech-enabled CEO (with Jez by her side)
- The intentional beta launch that set them up for a 4500+ member success
- Why personal connection and co-creation became their secret weapons
- The real talk on working with your partner (and how they navigate biz vs life)
