What happens when a successful executive realizes his six-figure salary is slowly killing his soul—and his relationship with his kids? Greg Garunov had the perfect life on paper: a suburban house, luxury cars, and two decades of success in the media industry. But behind the polished facade, he was drowning in the "Groundhog Day" cycle that traps so many working dads.
The wake-up call came during the COVID-19 pandemic, when remote work forced him to actually spend time with his children. That's when he discovered the brutal truth: having kids doesn't automatically make you a great father. Greg made the bold decision to leave his corporate career behind and build Millennial Prime, a thriving community that helps working dads master family work-life balance while pursuing parenting with a purpose.
This isn't another feel-good story about work-life balance. This is a raw, honest conversation about the loneliness epidemic plaguing successful fathers, the "golden handcuffs" that keep high-achievers trapped, and the revolutionary mindset shifts that transform both your business leadership and your family relationships.
