Robert and Kay Lee Fukui both experienced the hardships of growing up in households with parents who prioritized work over family.

After years of success in the business world of banking, family business, and major corporations like Coca-Cola, Novartis Pharmaceutical, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, this power couple translated their challenging family experiences into their consulting business, i61, inc.

Their mission is to leverage their combined business acumen and relationship tools to empower family businesses to grow flourishing family lives in “tandem” with their profits. On today’s episode, they share their approach for facilitating married entrepreneurs to get off the “hamster wheel” and cultivate rich personal and professional lives.

Their new book, “Tandem: The Married Entrepreneur’s Guide for Greater Work- Life Balance,” offers resources to equip business leaders to resolve both business and marital conflict, increase margins instead of volume, and to gain precious time for the relationships and activities they love most.
