“What is the lesson you want to teach our kids?” “Who do you want to be for our kids?” My wife asked me these questions during a particularly stressful time in my career. They grounded me. Refocused me. Made me prioritize what kind of person—both a dad and a business owner—I wanted to be.

In this episode, I explore the following lesson: honesty and vulnerability in leadership can be far stronger than having specific business plans.

Topics explored in this episode:

- The emotional toll of leading a business through financial uncertainty.

- How a supportive family dynamic can provide clarity and motivation.

- Asking for help and involving others in problem-solving.

- Why vulnerability and honesty strengthen leadership.

- How to inspire loyalty and commitment from a team during tough times.

- Parents teaching resilience and determination to our children.
