What Building a Business Really Costs Your Family

Faith, Hope and Payroll Podcast

Eric Jones and David Franzonello set the payroll talk aside and bring their wives, Amanda Jones and Kely Franzonello, to the mic for an honest look at what it takes to build a business and a career while raising a big Catholic family. They swap stories about January busy seasons, working from home with kids pounding on the office door, getting fired just weeks after learning a baby was on the way, and why the old advice still holds up: you'll never regret one more kid.
