Summary
Sometimes we don't realize how much our attention means to our spouses and kids. After work, we might only get a few hours with our families. What's the best way to spend what little time we have with them?
In this short episode, I talk to my son Ethan who gives us a kid's perspective on just how important time with dad is. He also shares simple, straightforward advice for hardworking dads on how to achieve work-life balance and prioritize their free time with their families.
