"I wanna be there for my kids, and at the same time I wanna be there for my office, my team…I wanna make a living.” There is true hardship in the struggle to make things happen at your business and to be there for your kids. You do not want to wake up one day and live in a house full of strangers, but at the same time you have responsibilities to provide for your family.  How do we do both well?

Key Takeaways:

  • Ask your child THIS question to help you set the best boundaries
  • How to deal with the guilt of being a business owner and father
  • The "no fails" that will make your family more intentional with each other
  • Do sport events really matter to your kids?


We discuss practical strategies to set boundaries, like turning off work phones over the weekend and involving family in understanding work commitments. Our conversation highlights the significance of open dialogue, apologizing, and seeking forgiveness when necessary.

Big A and Wall, along with Anthony Witt and Brett Barnhart, dive into the multifaceted challenges of balancing work and family life. We get honest about our intentions with our kids, how hard it can be to make things happen, and the very best strategies for having real relationships with your kids.
