After a long hiatus, Marc and Lucinda are back – and a LOT has changed.

In this episode, the hosts reunite in the studio to share some huge life and business updates: They've both been quietly navigating pregnancy (well Lucinda and Marc's fiancé!)

They're both expecting baby boys (Marc's baby boy was born a week after this was recorded!) And they're both figuring out what entrepreneurship + parenthood + work–life balance actually looks like in real time.

They talk honestly about:

- Unexpected pregnancies (including being told kids "weren't in the cards")

- Terrifying first trimesters, extreme exhaustion, and baby brain

- The pressure entrepreneurs feel around maternity leave and "getting a real job"

- Why flexibility is the new currency for parents

- Big wins for BNV Media and Lucinda's Leadership Foundations program

🎧 If you're an entrepreneur, parent, or leader trying to juggle it all, this one's for you.
