Being a high-achieving entrepreneur and a father at the same time? That’s like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle. It’s thrilling, but one wrong move and everything could come crashing down. I get it because I’ve been there trying to lead a business and a family without losing my mind or my soul.
