What happens when business, love, and legacy collide? Joe and Julie Foster take us behind the scenes of building Reebok into a global sportswear icon—while also building a life together.
With trademark honesty and humour, Joe shares how the collapse of his first marriage taught him that real entrepreneurial success requires a "we" mindset—where partnership and business resilience go hand in hand. Julie, ever the adaptable entrepreneur, reveals how she’s done everything from leading fitness sessions to operating chainsaws, stepping in wherever needed to keep the ship moving.
Their 33-year relationship is a blueprint for how complementary strengths and mutual respect can scale mountains—both in life and business. Whether it’s accepting speaking gigs with 24 hours' notice or globe-trotting with a carry-on, their dynamic style proves that adventure and success are inseparable when you’re in sync.
From community building to relentless curiosity, the Fosters drop timeless wisdom:
“Never give up and have fun.” – Joe
“Learn to listen, not just hear.” – Julie
🎧 This episode is for anyone building a business, nurturing a relationship, or trying to do both without losing the spark.
