Episode 268: Q&A: Fighting With My Partner, Ego, & Hiding Problems

About this episode

Dave answers listener questions about being present as a father, the impact of ego, and the importance of addressing personal challenges in leadership and relationships.

Dave answers great questions from listeners: what it really means to be present as a father when you’re grinding to provide, how ego has cost him in real life, and the challenge of turning off “leader mode” at home. He also addresses some criticism head-on—are you actually growing or just hiding behind discipline? This is a real talk on leadership, relationships, and doing the work where it actually matters.
