Mainstream parenting tells you to slow down, lower your ambitions, and leave work at the door. We argue the opposite. We're an entrepreneurial couple raising seven kids, and we believe the same frameworks that build great companies can build great families.

Do you long for an orderly, resilient, and harmonious home? One where everyone feels loved, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential?
In The Family Framework, we show how the same tools that build businesses can transform how a family works. Drawing on our entrepreneurial expertise and our experience homeschooling our seven children, we equip you with clearly defined systems, habits, and organizational guidance to:
"What Blake does best: distilling complex ideas into bite-size, easy-to-activate truths that make you go 'wow, I've never thought about that before.'"— Jeff Bethke, Foreword
If you want to move your family from overwhelmed and reactive to clear-minded and proactive, The Family Framework offers the straightforward, tested advice you need to build a home life that is productive and joyful.
Everything here came out of running our own family of nine. We don't publish what we haven't tested at our own dinner table.
One Google Sheet. Sixteen tabs. Every template we use to run our family of nine, including weekly meeting agendas, mission and values worksheets, simple budget, meal capsules, and family org chart.
Step-by-step video walkthroughs for the weekly meeting, quarterly offsite, and annual retreat that have anchored our family for over a decade. Includes live agendas and the exact scripts we use.
Years of unfiltered teaching from talks, podcasts, and church sessions. Marriage, fatherhood and motherhood, family operating systems, faith and work, raising entrepreneurial kids.
Our new book from Baker Revell, launching Fall 2026. The full operating system in one place: values, mission, roles, rhythms, traditions, conflict protocols, and the long game.
Every week we send one short email with a framework, habit, or system we are using right now in our marriage, our kids, our businesses, or our home. Plus instant access to the Family Dashboard.
Eight years ago, Blake walked away from a venture-backed startup with four kids, a wife pregnant with number five, and no job. Instead of collapsing, he opened a Google Doc and applied the leadership skills he had learned in the arena to the one organization that actually mattered.
Five years, two more kids, and four more businesses later, we are not theorizing. We are reporting from the field as real practitioners. Blake runs Allsmith Growth as a fractional CMO and integrator. Chandler homeschools our seven children and co-leads our family operating system. Together we lead house groups, teach couples, and write a weekly newsletter to 15,000+ families.
We believe warmth and framework are not enemies. They are friends. The reason most family life feels chaotic is because there is no scaffolding under the warmth. The love is already there. The mission is not. So we build the trellis, and we share what we find.
We accept one speaking engagement per month. We have taught at churches, conferences, masterminds, and corporate retreats on family operating systems, marriage as a co-founder relationship, and raising entrepreneurial kids in a busy household.
