Most entrepreneurs are taught how to build a business. Very few are taught how to build a business without losing themselves—or the people they love.
In Part 1 of this special two-part Valentine's conversation, Dr. Alisa Whyte welcomes back Robert and Kay Lee Fukui, founders of Power Couples by Design™, for an honest discussion about the hidden cost of success.
Together, they unpack why so many entrepreneurs postpone happiness while chasing the next milestone, how constantly moving the goalposts can quietly damage relationships, and why defining success only by revenue is one of the greatest traps business owners face. They also share deeply personal stories about loss, rebuilding life, relocating across the country, making courageous decisions together, and learning to enjoy life now instead of waiting for "someday."
What We Discuss
If you're building a business, leading a career, or striving for more while trying to protect your relationships, this episode will challenge the way you define success—and remind you what truly matters:
- Magnifying Strengths & Weaknesses: Why entrepreneurial success amplifies both the best and hardest parts of life.
- The "Someday" Trap: Dismantling the dangerous myth of "I'll be happy when..."
- Ambition vs. Intimacy: How corporate and entrepreneurial ambition can quietly compete with your primary relationship.
- Life Now vs. Retirement: Why waiting until retirement to enjoy your life is often too late.
- Redefining Wealth: The importance of defining success on your own terms beyond revenue.
- Living Intentionally: How intentional alignment creates both stronger businesses and healthier relationships.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that success isn't just measured by what you build—but by who you're becoming while building it.
