Summary

Building Family Together is a weekly podcast on marriage, business, faith, and the long work of building a family that lasts.


Hosted by Reggie and Tanora Polk, founders of Polk & Associates Construction in Nashville, Tennessee, the show is for couples who are trying to do all of it at the same time. Build a marriage. Build a business. Build a family. Hold onto faith through every season. Stay aligned when life gets full.


Reggie and Tanora have spent the last fifteen years building something most couples only talk about. They started Polk & Associates in 2011 and grew it into a full service construction firm trusted by federal, state, and commercial clients across Tennessee. Reggie is President and CEO. Tanora is Vice President. Together they have led the company through every season a marriage faces, every test a young business meets, and every chapter a growing family walks through.

This show is the conversation behind the conversation. Every week Reggie and Tanora open up about what most couples never say out loud. The cost of building. The grace of growing. The fights that taught them something. The wins that almost broke them. The ordinary moments that turned into the foundation of everything.


The topics range. Money, parenting, communication, ambition, rest, faith, and all the places those things collide. Sometimes the topic is what is keeping a marriage from feeling alive. Sometimes it is what it looks like to run a business as a couple without losing each other. Sometimes it is just a story from the week that landed.


If you are a couple in the middle of building together, whether that is a household, a business, a ministry, or a calling, Building Family Together is a weekly seat at the table with two people who are still in the work themselves. The show is for you whether you have been married six months or thirty years.


New episode every Wednesday.

    How do you work together, live together, raise nine kids together, run a company together, and still like each other at the end of the day?

    Welcome to Building Family Together. In Episode 1, Reggie and Tanora Polk introduce themselves and the show they have been building for years. After 25 years of marriage and 15 years running Polk and Associates Construction in Nashville, they open up the real rhythm of couplepreneurship. How they got started. The tension of working side by side. The framework Tanora calls the three Cs. What they do when they hit gridlock. And why their marriage will always be the bigger build.
