This time, we wanted to share a time when our cofounder, Elizabeth Dodson of HomeZada was on the Iwon podcast where she talked all things business. This topic may support some of your needs.

Divorce + Your NEXT Killer Product Idea

As founders, we obsess over features.

One of my favorite moments from my conversation with Michael was sharing a story that reminded me why we built HomeZada in the first place.

A customer used our platform during a divorce to fairly divide everything they owned after 30 years of marriage.

Sometimes the real impact is something we never expected. Those moments make the hard days' worth it.

I loved being a guest on the iwon™ podcast.

Most homeowners think about the fun and visible parts of owning a home, such as decorating, remodeling, entertaining, and creating a beautiful space for family and friends. But many do not plan for the systems and materials that make the home function every day, including the roof, HVAC system, water heater, windows, siding, appliances, garage doors, exterior paint, and other major assets.

Beth and John explain why these costs often come as expensive surprises, especially when something breaks during peak usage season. They discuss how homeowners can move from reacting to planning by understanding the useful life of key home components and creating a forecast for future replacement costs.
