It’s clear enough without them saying it, but Scott and Anne Travis will still tell it to you straight: they’re a powerhouse couple.
They’ve raised a family, started (and sold) multiple businesses, and moved across the country more than once during their 35 years of marriage. Today, as retired “empty nesters,” who continue to kick off shared adventures, they’re experiencing a renaissance of their earlier years — years when they had ample time to devote exclusively to each other. Only now, they’re getting to do that with three decades of partnership (and the knowledge that comes with it) under their belt, and without the pressures of entrepreneurial life. Simply put, they’re thriving.
But that hasn’t always been the case. They’ve faced their share of trials and tribulations as a couple, from deaths and financial insecurity to drug addiction, communication challenges and a miscarriage. That’s part of the reason their newest shared adventure is making a podcast about their marriage; they hope, Scott says, to reach “bring hope to marriages and reach people who are 5 to 10 years into it and thinking, ‘Man, this is bull****. This isn’t what I signed up for.”
“I think people get caught up in thinking that love is more complicated than it is,” Anne adds. “It’s really so very simple to love somebody and to be loved. It’s the other issues that complicate things: kids, in-laws, debt.”
On this episode of “The Liam Church Show,” Anne and Scott tell Liam about how they’ve harnessed the power of mindset as a couple to overcome the odds and keep their partnership going strong, this many decades in.
