Losing Your Way Down Memory Lane | Teresa talks to Will Fan

Send us Fan MailHas balancing work and family gotten tougher from one generation to the next? My parents had clearly defined roles: Dad earned the money, Mom managed the home and kids, my brother and I were responsible for schoolwork: he was better at that than I was.  To a great extent, that same division of labor was mirrored in my marriage.  My husband worked and travelled , I worked and (while hands-off with the household chores, thanks to living in Hong Kong where domestic help was  affordable and available) I did most of the "kid stuff", and, like many of my fellow working mothers, found the balancing act was taking its toll on our minds!My guest in this episode is Will Fan, CEO of NewCampus, an online business school focused on emerging markets, husband to business partner Faye and new father to their son - the latter job is the focus of our conversation as Will shares how he and his wife have redefined the roles of mother and father."She's the CEO and I'm head of Operations when it comes to our son".  Faye's all about long and short term planning and strategy. Will is in charge of implementation.  This means he suits up and shows up... to the playdates!Will shares lessons learned from his own hardworking immigrant parents, how he's found support and friendship through a tribe of other dads, some ways that technology is helping him, his wife and their domestic helper (Will now lives in Singapore) to stay on top of their son's changing needs, and his top two tips for today's young fathers.Join us for this game changing conversation, and please follow, subscribe and drop a comment if you're enjoying the podcast!#teresanorton  #theviewfromabroadpodcast #hongkong #portugal #humor #journal #truestories #changingworld #selfreflection #socialnorms #growth
