I have three sisters, so can relate to your relationship. On your website, it mentioned how you shared a room even when you didn't have to. And that was the same with us too; we never wanted to separate our bedrooms. What are the positives and negatives to working with your sister?
Leslie: Lyndsay and I are together 24/7, even before we worked together. Just like sharing our bedrooms when we grew up. I think we even were together the night before her wedding and shared a bed. I mean, we've always been inseparable. Other than our honeymoons, I think we have not spent more than maybe 10, 15 days apart. So we just are really close and we get each other; we annoy each other. Already this morning, we've had to shut our door. And one of us, I won't say which one, had to apologize to the other one for being short and snippy.
We definitely still have our quick-shorted moments with each other, but we just really get each other and understand how to communicate. And I think it's 40 years of a partnership. We have people ask us all the time how we make this work, and it's like, this is a longer relationship than our spouses. And we've both been married 20 years. So it's a relationship that you really can't describe. And you get that having sisters. I mean, it's one [relationship] that is really difficult to copy.
So how do you balance one another out?
Lyndsay: Gosh, that's a good question. I would say we balance each other out because we really... Gosh, how do we balance each other out? I mean, I'm more of a spender.
Leslie: Oh my gosh. Absolutely. She spends money. She literally just looked at me and asked if she could buy a new tablet as we were waiting for you guys to get on our call. And I just gave her a look, and she goes, "Oh, okay. Nope, we'll wait. We'll wait." So she definitely likes to spend money and I keep her more in line. I like to keep the money in the bank. So we definitely balance each other out very well.
Lyndsay: But then on the flip side, I'm the one that's constantly pushing us to grow. We're moving forward all the time. I'm the one that is always saying, "Well, what if we do this with our business or what if we take it here or what if we do this?" I'm the one that's pushing, pushing, pushing, and sometimes shoving Leslie off the cliff with me as we try new things. So I think we balance each other because I'm a lot more risky and I'm more of a visionary and a dreamer and a little bit more of that free spirit. And Leslie's a lot more conservative and she plays the game real well. She's in her lane. She likes that comfort. And I'm just a lot more of that wild spirit.
