  • EXPERIENCE 264 | Married & Magnetic with James and Angela Mitchell, Founders of Love Intentionally
    Apr 4 2026
    My conversation today was with James and Angela Mitchell, the Co-Founders and Relationship Coaches at Love Intentionally. Angela was a career counselor, working in schools, with depression and substance challenges, and eventually found her way to relationships. Meanwhile, James was the consummate entrepreneur - working in real estate but always trying new ventures - with widely ranging success. After years of taking intentional time throughout their marriage - every week, every month, and once-a-year retreats, James and Angela built skills and resources and systems to help entrepreneurs forge strong relationships - whether it’s a couple working together in business - or one stable career alongside the ups and downs of an entrepreneur. Love Intentionally was formed in 2018, and experienced a revolution in recent years, as the couple spent a year in Peru - and wrote a book together - Married & Magnetic - the Entrepreneur's Guide to a Thriving Marriage and a Booming Business. This episode is full of great stories, relationship best practices, and a lot of fun, so please join me in enjoying my conversation with James and Angela Mitchell.
