'We found an outlet for a community that felt real and like our own family, and we just loved living in that space and making people not feel so isolated.'
"I wanted them to feel like they could come cozy up, use the kitchen or whatever and still be able to work. So we definitely went for the cottage vibe."
Johnson admits it's weird having a quiet place to work in again after spending so much time at home with her kids during the pandemic. But even though the mom guilt is real, their residence is thankfully right down the street. "I learned first-hand that having all of us around and trying to work is just not possible. I'm not capable of being a mom and being the work person at the same time; I have to be one or the other. And so it definitely makes work life more efficient being able to come here," she says.As for how Johnson and East make time for each other, the gold medalist admits it's all about separating the different "sides" of her husband.
"We were spending too much undesignated time together, and we had a really hard time differentiating in any specific moment, 'Am I talking to my business partner or my [spouse]?' So I think the cottage and the office has helped a lot because when we're here, we know that we're business partners, and when we go home, we truly go home and we become husband and wife, which has been awesome.
"But they are the greatest things of our life," Johnson adds. "They keep us on our toes, they challenge us, terrify us. And it's fun. It's a wild ride!"
