On today’s show, Jon and Darius share their experiences – both as sons and later on, as fathers. Like Jon, Darius also made the mistake of focusing all his energies on his business when he was just starting out. Eventually, he realized the futility of his approach. And how his “success” in business felt hollow if he was not giving his 100% to his family.
In this episode, Jon and I talked about:
- Living life in the front row
- The complexities and vulnerabilities of being a father and a business owner
- How to create a true legacy
- And other topics…
