207: Setting Boundaries at Work and Home with Dan LaBroad

Episode Summary

Benefits consultant Dan LaBroad didn't grow up with a great model for marriage, but believes it's a forever commitment and wishes that all couples knew that when they are going through hard times that they aren't alone. He's also had to learn not to be "always on" or he will train clients to expect that of him.

Episode Notes

In this episode Ben chats with Dan Labroad of Ovation Health and Life Services, providing better benefits at lower costs (and yes, we use him, so we can vouch for that).

Dan discusses:

- the importance of finding a role model to help you understand how a marriage works (Dan didn't witness that growing up himself)

- how you need to learn the importance of "You're right, I'm sorry" and how this particularly hit home when his wife said, "You treat your clients better than you treat me." (Ouch)

- what he had to do to save his marriage when he got over his skis with spending despite losing some big clients
