Ep. 40 | How Founder Dads Can Overcome Dad Guilt and Truly Show Up at Home and Work

As a Founder Dad, you know the struggle: being physically present with your kids but mentally still tied to your business. That constant pull creates dad guilt and mental fatigue, making it hard to show up as the leader your family and company need. In Episode 40 of The Reset with Shaun Tucker, Shaun shares his raw and honest journey through the first two years of fatherhood—the highs, the challenges, and the mental fitness practices that helped him reclaim presence and performance. You’ll hear how disrupted sleep, relentless business stress, and the pressure to be perfect almost pushed him to burnout. But by prioritizing refilling his cup and setting a daily standard of consistent presence, Shaun found a new way to lead with energy and purpose both at home and work. This episode is a must-listen if you’re ready to break free from dad guilt, boost your mental fitness, and show up fully as both an entrepreneurial father and a high-performing founder.
