David Garson - Raising Kind Kids While Staying Driven
from Quarterback DadCast | Intentional Fatherhood & Leadership at Home Hosted by Casey Jacox
Send us Fan Mail Your calendar is full, your phone won’t stop buzzing, and your kids are growing up right in front of you. I sit down with David Garson, VP at Advanced Partners and a dad of two, to get honest about what it takes to lead a household with intention when life is busy and work is demanding. We talk about the values David and his wife are trying to build into their family culture: kindness first, honesty, responsibility, and being the kind of person others want to be around. David shares what he’s seeing in his daughter’s world as soccer ramps up and independence kicks in, and he tells a great story about his son’s “inventor” streak, complete with an idea journal and an entrepreneur camp. We also dig into the underrated power of curiosity and why asking better questions can be a real advantage in parenting and in life. Then we go straight at the hard part: presence. David calls out his own struggle with always being responsive, and I share the lesson that helped me set boundaries without tanking my career. We also cover what Advanced Partners does for staffing entrepreneurs, why relationships matter more than brand names at work, and how to keep sports in perspective so wins and losses don’t define your kids.
