Your team’s capable. You’re checking all the boxes. But something still feels off. This week on the Babies and Business podcast, Avram and Rachel share a story about a day spent driving around the city taking photos—a day that started off just fine but quickly turned into wrong turns, car sickness, and rising frustration. That experience led them to an important realization about communication, team workflow, and knowing when it’s time to switch roles.

From business partnerships to team dynamics, they explore what happens when the right people are in the wrong seats and how small, intentional shifts can change everything. They also share practical tools to help leaders build stronger, more aligned teams at work and at home.
