The P-I-G: Episode 02
Partners, Fathers, Leaders: A Conversation with Marcus Straub & Jason Jepson (Part 1)
This isn’t just an episode—it’s a deep dive into love, leadership, and legacy from the perspective of the two men who have walked beside us through one of the most transformative chapters of our lives. In Part 1 of this heartfelt two-part series, we sit down with Marcus Straub (Kellie’s husband of 15+ years) and Jason Jepson (Erin’s partner, who introduced us to Chris Howard and The Boxes project) to talk about:
What it means to love someone through grief and growth
Fatherhood and the kind of legacy they want to leave behind
How The P-I-G has impacted their own perspectives on connection, purpose, and vulnerability
🎙️ In this episode, we reflect on:
Marcus is a seasoned business and life coach with over two decades of experience helping people “own reality” and live intentionally. Jason brings a powerful perspective as a newer partner, a girl dad, and a man who values emotional depth and honesty.
Navigating both life and love after loss
Supporting women through profound transformation
The universal (and often invisible) struggles men face as they carry legacy, leadership, and emotional responsibility
…and this is just Part 1. This conversation was so good, we had to keep it going. Be sure to check out Part 2 in Episode #3, where we go even deeper into healing, relationships, and what it means to show up with intention in today’s world.
