Description

Kimberly and Darren are back together for this episode, and it is full of updates, insights, and a few trips down memory lane.Recently back from a franchise fair, they shared what their experience has been like to present Door Gurus to entrepreneurs. It was an exhausting event, but also beneficial. After having to talk to countless people, Darren has learned how to craft his pitch and overcome his initial shyness. Kimberly realized that events like the fair are old-school marketing, and while it’s still good and an opportunity to meet other entrepreneurs, there has to be something else that will supplement it.“Experiences are what starts to create innovation.” -Kimberly HiebertDarren and Kimberly also share an update on their book that they—sorry, Kimberly—have been writing. It’s an “experiential” book where they get to talk about the family business, the common challenges across their 4 businesses, and the various experiences they’ve had. Kimberly shares how, while writing she has to say, “Maybe we’re the toxic people.” Because it is one thing to run a business, but most of the challenges come from managing the different relationships involved in the business, especially when family is involved. That’s why Darren thinks it’s important to have leadership or people management training.“You'll never stop learning. You'll never stop dreaming.” -Kimberly HiebertBefore ending this episode, Darren and Kimberly remember their upcoming 30th anniversary and reminisce on the past 3 decades of marriage, sharing a moment of shock and a few laughs, with Darren asking, “Aren’t you glad you stuck around?”If you want to get to know Darren and Kimberly better, this episode is a great insight into their personalities, relationship, perspectives, and it shows you just how fun they are.Learn more about your ad choices.
