About this episode

Four dads discuss why work-life balance is a myth and advocate for integration instead.

On a topic dads argue about constantly, we found near-total agreement. In this Dads Agree episode we play four takes from past Front Row Dads guests who — without ever comparing notes — all landed in the same place: work-life balance is a myth. Chris Ducker calls it a myth outright. Tucker Max says balance is "bullsh*t" because work is part of life. Dave Allred argues "the price of greatness is imbalance." And Eric Wohlwend offers the fix: "quit trying to balance and start to integrate." The word they all reach for instead of balance? Integration. IN THIS EPISODE: • Chris Ducker — why "balance" is a myth • Tucker Max — work is part of life; integrate, don't balance • Dave Allred — "the price of greatness is imbalance" (greatness comes in seasons) • Eric Wohlwend — the fix: integrate, and "be where you are, 100%" THE CLIPS IN THIS EPISODE COME FROM THESE ORIGINAL CONVERSATIONS: • Chris Ducker — episode 60: https://frontrowdads.com/60 • Tucker Max — episode 115: https://frontrowdads.com/115 • Dave Allred — episode 401: https://frontrowdads.com/401 • Eric Wohlwend — episode 374: https://frontrowdads.com/374 Where do you land on work-life balance?
