In this episode, Tom and Lisa impart their wisdom on how to have full disclosure and get through the process together even when your values are colliding.

But I'm very much saying that they're not mine.” Tom Bilyeu [5:33] “To me, it's every day, we are working together as a team to really accomplish what we need or want to do. And we have our morals, we have our beliefs, and we need to support them.”
