The two travel around the country interviewing married entrepreneurs and discuss the dynamics of working with their spouses. Parkites’ podcast releases episodes every Wednesday SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record A big perk of Blaine and Honey Parker’s job is watching couples fall in love all over again. The Park City-based Parkers, who host the weekly podcast “CoupleCo: Working With Your Spouse for Fun & Profit,” tour the country and interview married entrepreneurs about their businesses. One of the standard questions the interviewers always ask these business owners is how they met, Honey Parker said. “As they talk about meeting each other, we can see them remember why they fell in love in the first place,” she said. “We see the kindness that these couples display towards each other, and that’s important because when you work together you have to value the other person.” CoupleCo, which debuted last Valentine’s Day and became iTunes’ No. 1 management and marketing podcast in April, has featured married business owners who live in Park City, New Orleans, Napa, California, and cities throughout the Midwest, to name a few places. The podcast addresses the unique stresses the couples experience while running their businesses, Honey said. “When you work with your spouse in business, everything is heightened,” she said. “You have to be better at communication. You have to be more honest. You have to be willing to take creative criticism. You have to be able to delegate. You have to have better time management, especially if you have kids.” To get the interviews, the Parkers jump into their camper and take off for months at a time, “So far we have found couples through word of mouth or referrals,” Blaine Parker said. “But we recently have been doing some cold contacts.” One of those out-of-the-blue 1990 interviews will be with Dandelion Catering, owned by Christian and Christine Hayes, in Yarmouth, Maine. The idea came to Blaine while he and Honey were watching an episode of the reality cooking show “Chopped” last March, in which the Hayes couple competed. “When they won, I immediately thought ‘CoupleCo’ and “We have been fans of small businesses for a long time because it’s the American dream to create something out of nothing...” Honey Parker, CoupleCo. podcast reached out to him on LinkedIn,” Blaine said. “He said yes, and we’re going to spend some time in a couple of weeks with them.” Married business owners aren’t the only people the Parkers interview. “We recently interviewed a psychologist who counsels couples who are in business together,” Blaine said. “She talked about how owning a business affects themselves and their children.” After the Parkers set up the interviews, they show up with their standard equipment — recording devices, two bottles of wine, four glasses and a corkscrew, Honey said. “The wine not only relaxes people, but it also shows these overworked people how appreciative we are that they are willing to spend time with us,” she said. The interviews are designed to be an hour long, but usually run up to three hours, according to Honey. “We have found that it’s virtually impossible to keep an interview down to 90 minutes,” Blaine added. 2018 The Parkers will then go back and edit the interviews. “The podcast runs from anywhere from 27 to 50 minutes,” Blaine said. “We usually break up the interview into halves.” The CoupleCo podcast is the result of a journey that started nearly 20 years ago in Los Angeles, where the Parkers worked as screenwriters and had other careers. Blaine worked at various ad agencies and did commercial voiceovers, and Honey did some stand-up comedy. “We moved to Park City more than a decade ago, and when the economy crashed in 2008, we figured it was a good time to start our own business,” Honey said. The couple formed Slowburn Marketing and traveled around the world presenting about branding and marketing to small business owners. “We spoke in venues from Boise, Idaho, to Los Angeles to Malaysia and Singapore,” Blaine said. The couple also wrote a few books about marketing and branding, according to Honey. “In the process, we started working with entrepreneurial couples,” Blaine said. “No matter where we were, we would meet couples who were in business together.” The Parkers looked around and noticed there weren’t many services available for married business owners. So, they decided to do a podcast. “We have been fans of small businesses for a long time because it’s the American dream to create something out of nothing,” Honey said. “Then on 434 Main Street Park City, Utah 435-655-9505 www.purplesageparkcity.com Open Monday to Saturday @5:30 Summer Shake Up at the Purple Sage!
