Today’s topic is on how to grow and manage your career while not sacrificing your role as a father. I think many people can relate that it seems like a no-win situation nowadays – either work lots of hours and advance in your career OR thrive in your family life. And for most guys, this is a conflict. We all have this innate drive to succeed, to win, to be leaders.
