The Build - Ep 22: The Struggle to Be Present (Especially as a Parent)


Listen Later

I came home from the kitchen at 1 AM and reflected how much I missed at home.

Those moments hit hard — and I don't forget them.

In this episode, I talk about the quiet, ongoing struggle to be present as a parent while building something that demands your full attention. It’s not just about time. It’s about presence — and the pain of missing what matters most, even when your work has purpose.

We get into:

  • The difference between quality time and quantity time
  • What that 1 AM moment showed me about how I’m leading at home
  • The quiet guilt that can creep in — and what to do with it
  • How I’m learning to shift without slowing down what I’m building

If you’re building something that matters but struggling to stay present with the people who matter most — this one’s for you.

Cheers.

Jeff
