Fatherlessness Is Destroying America — Here’s What Needs to Change

from The Greatest Story · host Paul Galushkin

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we talk about something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention—the crisis of fatherlessness in America. Too many kids are growing up without a dad, and the effects are everywhere: in classrooms, in crime stats, and in emotional health.At the same time, there’s this idea that to succeed in business, your family has to come second. That success requires sacrifice at home. But I don’t believe that has to be true. That’s why I sat down with Tom Ellsworth—not just to talk about business, but to learn from him. He’s helped lead over $1.5 billion in business exits, yet through all that pressure, he’s remained present in the lives of his kids.This conversation is about priorities. It challenges the belief that you can’t win at work and at home. And it’s a call to every man who’s ever wondered if being a father really matters. It does.Follow me on FacebookFollow Me on Instagram
