Sleeping With The Boss
Would you hire your husband? Or how about your wife? More and more, spouses are saying yes to these questions and starting businesses together. Generally, these couples say their unconventional partnerships work, as long as their respective roles are carefully delineated. But some family advisers say whatever the route, the deck is stacked against couples working well together. Larry talks with Joseph Astrachan, Executive Director of the Cox Family Enterprise Center at Kennesaw State University in Georgia, Erin Bowes and John Pawek, married co-owners of MSA Planning & Design Consultants, about the challenges and rewards of merging love and business.
