Scaling Profit & Peace: How Samantha and Michael Guthrie Built a Lean ATM Empire While Keeping Their Marriage Strong
Manage episode 492340744 series 3621226
Starting a business with your spouse sounds like a recipe for disaster—or a dream come true.
For Samantha and Michael Guthrie, it was both.
They lost their jobs on the same day, risked their last $2,000 on a single ATM machine, and built an eight-figure company from that single bet. No investors. No fancy office. Just grit, systems, and a shared refusal to live life on someone else’s terms.
In this episode, we get real about what it takes to scale a business while building a marriage that actually works. We go deep into business efficiency, partner dynamics, industry disruption, and why listening—not selling—is the key to making millions.
They didn’t just build a company. They redefined what a lean business looks like. And somehow, through all of it, they came out stronger—both in love and in the bank.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to scale with your spouse, you need to hear this.
“ When you do what you love to do and serve the right clientele, you don't have to worry about money. Money finds you, it just shows up..” ~ Michael Guthrie
