- You’re Not “Doing It for Them” If You’re Never Home – with Ben McLellan
What happens when your spouse says, “When you're here, you're not even here”?
Ben McLellan shares the real story behind that moment — and how it became the catalyst for a complete life and business redesign.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The early years of hustle (and what he’d do differently)
- Navigating marriage and fatherhood through business pivots
- The lie we tell ourselves when we justify burnout
- Practical rhythms that help him stay grounded today
- What happens when you build a business for your family that actually pulls you from your family
Ben’s transparency is a reminder that being a founder and being a present father don't have to be at odds — if you’re willing to slow down and lead with intention.
