In this episode of the Uncommon Wealth Podcast, I sit down with two of my favorite humans on the planet — Greg and Libby Olson — and let me just tell you… these two are magnetic. They’re a married couple, business partners, and the kind of people who walk into a room and instantly raise the energy. Their whole life is built around this mindset of “Yes, And” — and it’s not just something they say… it’s how they operate.We talk about their story — how they met (in a very uncommon way), how their paths kept crossing over the years, and how they eventually realized, okay… maybe God is doing something here. From running their marketing agency Growl, to navigating the ups and downs of working together as a couple, to learning how to set boundaries so the business doesn’t swallow their marriage — they get super real about what it’s actually like behind the scenes.And then we get into their health journey — because what they’ve done is honestly incredible. They’ve lost a ton of weight, completely changed their lifestyle, and now they’re doing stuff that would’ve sounded insane a couple years ago… like training for Hyrox, running races, strength training — all of it. And it didn’t happen overnight. It was layered. One “yes” at a time.But underneath everything, what really stands out is their faith. We talk about how God has been working in their lives — not just in the easy seasons, but especially through the hard ones — and how that has shaped their priorities and their purpose going forward.This episode is funny, honest, and full of momentum — and if you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or like you’ve lost that spark… I think the Olsons are going to light something back up in you.
