[Easemakers Podcast E28] From managing properties in the islands to building a business in NC: growing a career side by side
What's it like to work in private service alongside your spouse? Find out in a new episode of the Easemakers Podcast with Easemakers community member Catherine Smith!
Catherine Smith and her husband Stuart Smith have built a career in private service side by side.
They were living in the Virgin Islands when they stumbled upon a job in private service. For two years, Catherine managed the house while Stuart managed the property. Then, a hurricane changed everything — setting them on a new path to building their own fractional estate management business in their home state of North Carolina.
Catherine and Stuart have complementary skillsets and a shared love of private service — two things that help them work well together. Catherine says working alongside your spouse isn’t for everyone, but it’s perfect for them.
“We just really enjoy each other’s company and supporting each other, and so to be able to find something that we could do together and work towards the same goal was amazing,” she says.
