Escape the Busy Trap and Take Back Control of Your Business

If your business is running your life, this is how you take it back.

Mark and Caroline aren’t just co-hosts — they’re a real-life couple who’ve spent 15 years building a business together without losing their minds (or each other). In this episode, they unpack one small, ridiculously effective strategy that could give you back your time, your focus, and even your evenings.

They call it “bunkering.”

We’re talking about turning distraction into discipline, chaos into clarity, and busywork into bold business moves. Whether you run your business solo or with your significant other, these insights will change how you think about time forever.

You’ll learn how to bunker like a boss, from when to do it, where to do it, and what to do while you’re in it.

If your business is starting to feel like it owns you, this might just be your first step back to freedom.
