What happens when a husband and wife decide to bet big on each other and on commercial real estate?
In this episode of Commercially Speaking, Bo and Timmy sit down with Brent and Amy Miller, the couple behind Synergy Investments, to unpack how they’ve built more than just a successful firm—they’ve built a place people never want to leave.
📈 What You’ll Learn:
- Why they treat every hire like family—and how that pays off
- How they balance marriage and business without losing their minds
- What it really looks like to make scary, stretch investments together
- Why empathy, trust, and transparency are their competitive edge
- How to build a culture that outlasts your competition
Whether you’re married, in business, or both—this one will hit you where it matters.
