Join hosts Ildiko Ferenczi and Dan Caldwell as they delve deep into the foundation of strong marriages, especially for entrepreneurial couples juggling business and children. In this insightful episode, they highlight the three key pillars essential for marital harmony and longevity and why they were important in their marriage and why it should be important to yours. Having a Common Purpose - Just like teammates on the court, couples need a united vision. Forging a legacy together, nurturing family dreams, setting your health goals together, charting your life’s journey together, all of these shared objectives fortify your bond together and if they are not aligned it can make it difficult to stay connected and keep that strong relationship. Aligned Principles - Delve into the heart of shared beliefs and morals. Understanding and respecting each other’s spiritual journey. A journey that probably only works if aligned on the same path. Ensuring the core values imparted to your future children are in sync, this pillar underscores the ethical backbone of a union. Shared Lifestyle & Hobbies - Having mutual interests and pastimes so that these shared experiences, can bring you closer together and not further apart. In addition, Ildiko and Dan candidly discuss the challenges couples face when they aren’t aligned in these vital areas, shedding light on potential pitfalls and how to navigate them. Another must-listen for anyone seeking to fortify their marital foundation amidst the whirlwind of entrepreneurship and parenting. ps Please when you leave a review please leave your @ handel so we can get you a surprise!

Are You Struggling to Balance Marriage, Kids, and a Thriving Business? You’re Not Alone.
Do you ever feel like you’re constantly being pulled in a million directions? Like no matter how hard you work, there’s never enough time for your business, your marriage, and your children, all while still trying to take care of yourself?
Maybe you’re chasing financial success but feel disconnected from your spouse. Maybe you’re growing your business, but your kids are growing up faster than you can keep up. Or perhaps you’ve built something incredible, yet deep down, you’re still wondering: Is this what success is supposed to feel like?
If you’ve ever wrestled with these questions, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the Pretty and Punk - Entrepreneur Parent Podcast, Where Ambitious Entrepreneurs Build Thriving Families.
Hosted by Dan Caldwell, founder of the $300M+ brand TapouT, and his wife Ildiko Ferenczi, actress, social media star, and the founder of Canada’s first woman-owned luxury architectural concrete company, this podcast is a game-changer for entrepreneurs who refuse to choose between their family and their dreams. Together with their two young children, the world’s youngest podcasters, Daniel and Destiny, they invite you on their journey of building a thriving business while raising a strong, connected family.
This podcast was born during one of the most challenging seasons of our lives. While facing one of our greatest obstacles, we realized that success in business means nothing if we’re losing the people who matter most. We wanted more, we wanted financial freedom without sacrificing our family, our faith, or our dreams. And we know so many families are searching for that same balance.
This isn’t just another business podcast. It’s a real, raw, and powerful conversation about what it actually takes to build a successful business, a strong marriage, and raise future leaders, all at the same time.

The world tells us that becoming parents means sacrificing our dreams, but we believe that fatherhood and motherhood don’t make you weaker, they make you unstoppable. Parenthood doesn’t mean losing your identity; it’s a superpower you didn’t even know you had. And this podcast will help you tap into your God-given destiny.
