“Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.” -Michael J. Fox

This is probably one of the biggest debates within today’s society. 

How do we balance our commitments to both our family and our career? Do we solely focus on the family and not obtain all the resources required through work? Do we focus on our careers so that our families can be supported with resources? Are we being selfish? Are we being selfless? So many questions.

This week, Mike and Melon are joined by their great mate, Simon, who is also former Australian military. Listen in as they openly and honestly discuss the questions above. These three men have chosen a life of service for the greater good but found themselves struggling at key points when it came to balancing family and their partners at home. 

They share failures as men, partners, and fathers, but also share their lessons learned as they have taken the time to process those failures, and have the required conversations with their families to get to where they needed to be in a state of balance.

Do you struggle with your balance of family and work? How have you failed? How have you succeeded? What advice would you give to others if you were asked how to do this? 

We are all trying to figure out the best way forward.
