Episode notes

Jamie Nacht is the co-founder and CEO of Havium, a company he built from the ground up with his wife and co-founder, Cristin. Together, they’re raising two young kids while juggling the nonstop realities of startup life, marriage, and modern parenting, all as a fully integrated team.

In this episode, Jamie shares his honest and often hilarious take on building a company with your spouse, creating parenting systems that actually work, and why sometimes the best way to help your kid process big emotions is to scream right along with them. We discussed:

The value of routines and structure: How simple systems like Pizza Friday and bedtime rituals help reduce friction and create predictability for young kids.
Why “screaming it out” works: Jamie shares how he defuses tantrums by yelling alongside his kids, helping them process their emotions without shame.
Teaching negotiation and responsibility: From chore taxes to bedtime story debates, Jamie’s approach helps his kids understand how the world really works.
Practicing perspective as a parenting superpower: Whether it’s a hard week at work or spilled art projects, Jamie explains how he reframes moments to build resilience.
“Anything is possible” parenting: How Jamie’s confidence borders on delusional (his wife’s words), and why he’s intentionally passing that belief on to his kids.
