Was grinding 60 hour weeks, always on calls, missed a lot. Decided to step back to 3 days a week in the office so I could be more present. Lost some income and status I guess, but I actually know what my kids are learning in school now. The guilt about money is real sometimes, but my oldest asked me yesterday if I could come to her soccer game and I could actually say yes instead of maybe. That's worth more than whatever title I was chasing.

That's a huge call, man. Stepping back from that rat race to actually be present with your kids is worth more than the paycheck. I'm working those hours too and it's tough, but moments with the kids are what really matter in the end.
