SUMMARY:

In this unique episode of DYB, Steve invites his wife April Burnett in a joint interview with Mark and Nicole Black of 'Men in White Painting;' a Husband-and-Wife team based in Mount Vernon, Illinois.

 

 

The couple's story begins with both involved in the Black's family business, selling medical equipment. With a strong desire to branch off and create something of their own, Mark and Nicole started "Men in White Painting."

 

 

Along the journey, however, there were severe challenges that threatened the Black's financial stability multiple times, from several moves to different cities, to Mark slaving away at 16+ hour workdays to make ends meet.

 

 

Join us for a ride through the Black's Past:

Stories of intense hardship, mistakes, and how it all made the couple's marriage stronger.
