#20 - Extreme Ownership at Home and at Work

In this solo episode of The New School Dad, Matt shares a real moment from his week that completely changed how he thinks about leadership. After a young employee slept through half a workday, Matt realized the mistake wasn’t the kid’s—it was his. Drawing from the idea of “Extreme Ownership,” Matt breaks down why clarity, directness, and personal responsibility are the foundation of great leadership, whether you’re running a business or raising a family. If something goes wrong, the first place to look is in the mirror. This episode is about owning your role, leading better, and showing up stronger for your team and your kids.
