Hey Mia, what's it like working with your husband so closely everyday?

Did you know Mia Freedman works with her husband? That’s right. Mia is the founder and creative director of Mamamia while her husband, Jason Lavigne, is the CEO. They’ve been working together since 2009.

“From the minute we decided to do this together we had very clear roles, he was going to be the business side… and I was going to be the creative side,” explains Mia.

In the video above, Mia tells us what it’s really like to work with your spouse, including how colleagues react when the pair argue as husband and wife in meetings.

I work for husband and wife directors and it's always a bit uncomfortable when they get snippy with each other, even if it's only in a business context! We mostly just try to ignore it but it does add a certain tension to the room!

Good on you Mia - when my husband is working from home I can't wait for him to go back to the city!
