Today Suzi is talking with Dallas, a dad to three boys, 13, 10 & 6.

Dallas reveals to us his struggle mentally at one point with balancing work/entrepreneurial endeavors and family time.

"I went through a mental health battle, and for a long time, I felt like I was "losing at life." I'm a competitive, sports-minded guy, and I wanted to "win" again. So, I created "points" for myself. I started winning and feeling some positive momentum. Still, at the dinner table one night, a moment with my boys made me realize I was only winning in certain areas, but I was losing in the most important area -- with my family. I needed more than "points"...I needed the right game plan."

Dallas also talks freely about an episode with his oldest son and how they worked through it.

Dallas stated, "Not long ago, with my oldest son, we hit an impasse on a behavioral situation with him. In this moment of clarity, I realized, "He's never been this age before. He's learning." And at that moment, I realized, too, "I've never had a kid this age before. I'm learning too." Once we shared that moment, there became a lot more grace around the impasse because we realized we've never passed this way before."

Dallas is a super fun guy to chat with and is very down-to-earth. Having him on the pod was a pleasure, especially as my first Dad guest!
