Raising Twins, Setting Boundaries, and Family Bonding with Mark Leadercramer

Encouraging kids, especially with twins, to think critically, using a routine to allocate time between work and family, and finding meaning. I talk to Mark about banned words in their house (“can’t”), achieving work-life balance, and spending quality time with family.   Mark Leadercramer is the Head of Enterprise Sales and Cryptocurrency for Stripe in Southeast Asia. Mark started his career in media and advertising before spending a decade building and leading Mintel, a market intelligence firm in Asia Pacific. Mark is passionate about coaching and building high-performing teams and is a father of three: the twins Harrison and Emily, age six, and a newborn named Sophia.   In this episode, Mark talks to us about his move from London to Australia. He then met his wife Justine on his first night out in Sydney. At the time of our recording, their 10-year anniversary was coming up. The couple welcomed kids the same time Mark got a new job, and he talks about the challenges he and Justine went through, and how they conquered them together.   From the importance of family values, tackling pregnancy, splitting the work between him and his wife, and the importance of communicating with his family, Mark shares the wisdom he has gained as a parent in tech.   To get in touch with Mark, find him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-leadercramer-25899b15/?originalSubdomain=sg    Don’t forget to head over to www.parents.fm to stay up to date with new and previous episodes, join our community of parents in tech or drop me a line.
