Summary

This week on Brown Ambition, we’re joined by none other than HGTV’s powerhouse duo, Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson, stars of “Married to Real Estate” and hosts of the Marriage & Money podcast.

Together, we dive into what it really looks like to build a business, raise a family, and keep a marriage strong—all while staying true to themselves. From juggling show tapings to managing their growing empire (hello, new furniture line Indigo Road!), Egypt and Mike don’t hold back.

We talk about:

- The honest truth about therapy, teamwork, and choosing love on the hard days

- How they navigate marriage without competition just collaboration

- The power of understanding your partner’s strengths in life and in business

- Their journey raising daughters while modeling a healthy, ambitious partnership

- What it takes to build a financial dream team and break the mold on outdated gender roles

We also get personal about the importance of communication, leaning on trust, and setting boundaries that protect your peace—drawing inspiration from Michelle Obama, Tabitha Brown, and the many women redefining relationship goals on their own terms.

This one’s for anyone balancing love, legacy, and leveling up

🎧 Tap in and don’t forget to check out Egypt and Mike on YouTube and follow Egypt's newest venture, Indigo Road, for more of her signature style and vision.
