The 200% Marriage Podcast with Meredith & Craig - Episode 124:

"The universe will tickle you with a feather. If you don't listen, it resorts to the hammer."

Most entrepreneurs treat their relationship like a "wait and see" project. We hear the whispers - the gut feeling that says something is off - but we explain it away as cold feet or "busy season." We trade short-term discomfort for long-term dysfunction, only to find ourselves living as "ships passing in the night."

In this episode, Craig takes the mic for Chapter 3: Ignore the Feather, Get the Hammer. He pulls back the curtain on his own "bad judgment" era - from his military upbringing to the failure of his first marriage.

Inside this strategic briefing:

• The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Why staying in a relationship to "stay on schedule" with your peers is a recipe for disaster.

• The Roommate Trap: How healthy people become "married but lonely" and why ignoring the crack in the foundation doesn't make it go away.

• Extreme Ownership 2.0: Why Craig takes 100% responsibility for his divorce.

• The Accountability Mirror: Learning to divorce the outcome from the process to become a partner worthy of your dream spouse.

The Play: Stop waiting for the hammer to fall. If you’re currently "white-knuckling" your way through a marriage that feels like a sacrifice, it's time to bring your shame into the light and start doing the work.

Don’t you dare settle for fine.

The 200% Marriage Podcast with Meredith & Craig - Episode 123

"I spent a decade single because 'Settle' was a four-letter word to me."

Most people treat their marriage like a low-battery phone—they just hope it stays alive long enough to get through the day. They’ve accepted "fine" as their ceiling. But as Roy Kent says: “You deserve someone who makes you feel as though you’ve been struck by fucking lightning.”

In this episode, Meredith takes the mic to read Chapter 2 of "The 200% Marriage." She gets raw about the infidelity that rocked her family, the decade she spent building walls to protect her heart, and the moment she realized she was shrinking to fit into someone else’s world.

Inside this deep dive, we discuss:

• The Generational Hand-off: How we inherit our "fighting style" from our parents (like "yelling and sweeping") and how to finally break the cycle.

• The 100% Responsibility Audit: Why it takes two people to "open the door" to a relationship collapse (and why that's actually empowering).

• The Decade of Singleness: Why being alone is infinitely better than being with the wrong person.

• The Roy Kent Standard: How to stop "leveling down" and wait for the lightning.

The Play: If you’re currently "white-knuckling" your way through a relationship that feels like a chore, this episode is your wake-up call. You aren’t broken, but you might be playing by an old, outdated script.

It’s time to stop settling. It’s time to build an Unstoppable Team.

The 200% Marriage Podcast with Meredith & Craig - Episode 122

What the f*ck are we doing here?

Seriously. If you’ve ever picked up a relationship book and felt like you were reading a dry science manual, you’re in the right place—because we’re setting that stuff on fire.

In this episode, we’re diving into Chapter 1 of The 200% Marriage book. Craig takes the mic to read the opening he wrote while we were hunkered down on Big White ski mountain in June. We talk about about why we refuse to do "stuffy," why Mer swears like a sailor (fair warning!), and why having a "wild streak" is actually a prerequisite for an Unstoppable Team.

Inside this chitchat, we’re breaking down:

• The 5 Categories of Readers: Whether your marriage is "okayish" or you’re currently Surviving in Roommate-ville, we see you.

• Celebrating the Start: Why you don’t have to wait until the "end" of a journey to give yourself a high-five.

• Behind-the-Scenes Writing Secrets: How we wrote this book in a 6-week sprint and why "no book is due before its time."

• The Mom Disclaimer: Yes, our families are mentioned. No, it’s not all about them (but we love you anyway).

We’re done with white-knuckling through life. And if you believe that it’s time to trade "fine" for FIRE. Grab your Toque, pull up a seat, and let’s get into the messy, funny, and honest truth about building a Kick-ass Marriage.

Next week: Mer takes the mic for Chapter 2 to tell you exactly how she got so messed up... we mean, how she got here.

Don’t you dare settle for fine.
