16. WAIT, A DAD!? A Heart-to-Heart About Raising Kids & Running Businesses w/ Tyler Ross!

Wait, wait, wait... a DAD on the Made for MOTHERS show!? Let's goooo... Tyler Ross and I recently connected through a mutual friend and had a fun idea! He runs his podcast supporting dads, so we decided to do a podcast swap. Our goal was to discuss the various aspects of parenting and entrepreneurship from the perspectives of both mom and dad business owners... and we did just that... an hour and half of that to be exact, ha! 

Tyler Ross, a husband and father of two (Irish twins), is the owner and broker at Ross Real Estate and the host of the Learning to Dad podcast. He's also involved in building a jiu-jitsu school and creating a decking company. He enjoys pursuing other interests such as health and fitness, writing, and investments. Tyler is passionate about having candid conversations with dads navigating parenthood and entrepreneurship.

In our conversation, Tyler and I covered numerous topics relevant to parents balancing work and family life. We explored the reasons behind the overused terms "working mom" and "mom guilt" compared to the less-discussed "working dad" and "dad guilt" terms. We delved into the importance of raising emotionally available, self-regulated children and navigating the unique challenges of fatherhood and entrepreneurship. We discussed the power of reverse engineering one's desired lifestyle and the importance of prioritizing self-care to prevent burnout.

Self-awareness, vulnerability, patience, and resilience are all essential traits for both raising children and making an impact through our work. Our conversation was enriching and valuable, providing insights that can leave you feeling enlightened and encouraged, regardless of the stage of life you're in with parenthood and entrepreneurship.
