This week I have Jeff Hittner, who is the interviewer and writer behind The Ambitious Dads.

Jeff interviewed 50 highly ambitious fathers in order to get the answers he wanted about defining success in and out of the household. Since then he has gone on to interview over 200 fathers and continues to learn and define what it means to be a good father.

We talk work/life balance, how to navigate life's challenges, keeping a growth mindset and define what it means to be an Ambitious Dad.
