ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Mike and Jennie Johnson grew up in Logan, were friends all through high school, and got married at 20 and 18. Twenty-nine years, four kids, and four grandkids later, they're building a business side by side, with eight or nine family members working alongside them by choice.
Mike spent 18 years in mortgages before walking away to knock doors. Jennie's first reaction was to ask if he'd lost his mind. In this episode they open up about what that leap looked like from both sides, the phone call that turned things around for Mike early on, and why Jennie watched his confidence come back once he was helping people again.
They also get into how they raise a family people actually want to be around, why Jennie always picks the relationship over being right, and the simple speakerphone habit that turned work from something that pulled them apart into something they do together.
