In this episode, we were joined by @thedaniaustin and her husband Jordan Ramirez. Dani opened up about her surprise pregnancy, her struggle with hair loss, and her journey of wearing wigs, which ultimately inspired the creation of their company, Divi. Their business achieved remarkable success, earning over $40 million in revenue in its first year.

  • My husband is a federal employee (he works in the FAA) he works on the computers that help keep flights safe. When you say federal employees just remember there are federal employees who have nothing to do with our government running. I love you Matt and Abby have been a long time follower.
  • @aliziaaa
    MISSION FOR 2024!! Have Bridgit Mendler on the podcast!!✨️💗💗💗💕💕💕🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
  • I loved this episode so much! I’m a farmer in the middle of nowhere . So interesting to hear the perspectives!! Also you can tell Jordan is a man of God, lots of wisdom. Here’s some encouragement Matt and Abby!
  • @dedhin194
    Funny how so many of your guests openly say that they are Christians/believers but then they all seem to not be supposed to say more on here😅 a pity! Would be nice if you let them share more about their faith. I feel like they'd want to!
  • @annie5593
    I absolutely loved hearing Dani and her husband talk about their journey through the lens of their faith. Such an inspiring couple!🤍🙏🏻
  • I like it when Matt extends his hand to Abby.....and they hold hands. How sweet! And then Matt would also lay his hand on top of Abby's lap.
  • @Eiri553
    I so love the way y'all are so relaxed & its just like sitting & watching a group of people who have been friends since all their lives. Guys subscribe they are so worth it.
  • @patriarchywife
    “are you sure you guys love each other” 🤣🤣🤣
  • @Sarah-um6tt
    This was one of the best episodes yet! Loved how politics and history were discussed in an open, fun, and productive way. And also loved hearing from successful, humble people about how their business started.
  • @oliviab4412
    Love how open Jordan is about the Lord!!🤍
  • @misslora3896
    It was brief, but from a female perspective, it was actually really refreshing to hear 2 married men speaking frankly about their role in birth control, methods tried (and failed), how they feel about it etc. Men often don't share their perspective about a lot of topics with women. I think it would be wonderful if Matt sat down with a group of male friends, married, dateing, single and did an entire episode about the male perspective. Women really do care, but find it difficult to get men to share with us.

    That's how it was with my cancer diagnosis last year. I kept it all to myself at first, then told my family but no one would have known I was going through treatments. No one did. Once I started sharing more ppl could relate and it becomes less of a monster sharing it. Once I was open I felt like I could be more myself again since I don't need to hide it.
  • Jordan having an alter ego that loves dance movies is so me 😂😂 i have zero rhythem but LOVE the step up franchise! This was such a fun watch, my favorite episode yet!! Loved hearing from Dani and Jordan, ive never heard of them before. But they seem like such incrediable genuine people. I started following their podcast and cant wait to hear more from them
  • I have super baby fine hair to begin with now I'm losing hair. What a sweet and authentic couple that are so relatable and successful is so rare anymore
  • @leen34568
    these are just a really sweet couple. i love them
  • @mckennabowerss
    I went through the IUD rejection process and she is being nice about how painful it is. Worst pain, and to this day if I think about where that pain was, it makes me cramp
  • @xohannahbananaa
    When I used to be on IG, I followed Dani and I miss seeing her on my feed so much. She has such a beautiful spirit and she’s so sweet. I miss seeing her and Jordan and Hazel and Lola ❤️ This episode is exactly why I love them, they’re just a married couple trying to raise their kids, live life and make good use of the platform they were given.
  • @Slclovinlife
    MattandAbby I Love you both, listen every Wednesday! I appreciate this video. In 2020 I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor and Cushing's disease. This caused so many symptoms including hair loss/thining. I'm glad there is a platform to help women with this.
  • @hazy37280
