Jeremy Pryor is joined by Blake Smith to discuss a chapter from Blake's upcoming book, Unicorn Family. Using real-world, startup-based experiences from business, Blake argues that fathers should be the "CEO" of the family. In today's social climate, this is a conversation people want to stop us from having...but lack of clarity and understanding in family leadership is destroying families! With so much at risk, it's worth getting uncomfortable to talk about leadership roles in a family and why a father is uniquely situated to be the one assuming the responsibility for the blessing of everyone involved. In this episode, we talk about: 1:10 Building a "Unicorn Family" with Blake Smith 5:37 Who is the Leader? Discussing a chapter from Blake's upcoming book 13:07 Are you a misogynist if you believe fathers should be the "family CEO"? 21:27 Relational tension when there's no clear leader 32:18 Why defining "family" is so important to organizational and leadership structure in the home 36:27 Why one person must feel more responsible than the rest 40:26 Are males inherently designed to be the leader of the family? 47:11 Gender is a family construct, not a social construct Resources Mentioned: Blake Smith on LinkedIn Blake's Newsletter --- 🏠 LEARN HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLES FOR JESUS, IN AND THROUGH YOUR HOME: 1kh.org --- Hi, welcome to the 1000 Houses Podcast!
