Parenting with Purpose: Building Bonds and Navigating Modern Fatherhood
Can working dads build successful companies and still master intentional parenting without losing family-work life balance? Greg Garunov thought he had it all—nice house, great job, healthy kids. But something was missing. After 20 years climbing the corporate ladder, he felt empty and disconnected from what mattered most.
In this episode, Greg shares his journey from successful media executive to community builder for modern fathers. You'll learn the simple but powerful strategies he uses to help working dads connect with their kids and build stronger families.
This conversation highlights why many high-achieving fathers often feel lonely and how the right community can make a profound difference. Get ready for honest insights about balancing work success with being the dad you really want to be.
Here's what we cover:
Why the "Groundhog Day" feeling at work signals it's time for intentional parenting changes
The simple Japanese exercise that helped Greg discover his true purpose beyond corporate success
How "golden handcuffs" keep working dads trapped in unfulfilling cycles (and how to break free)
The hidden loneliness epidemic affecting successful fathers and what to do about it
Why admitting you don't know something is actually a sign of modern masculine strength
The surprising difference between being a parent and building an actual relationship with your kids
How to find activities and create core memories without the endless research struggle
Why doing less with your children often creates a more meaningful family work-life balance
This episode challenges every working dad to think differently about success, family, and what really matters. Greg's story proves that you don't have to choose between career achievement and being the father your kids will remember 20 years from now.

“It’s much easier to connect with your kids and not be this frantic person when you have prioritized certain things that align with who you want to be as an authentic person, dad, man. And it makes it easy to simply say no to all the distractions and focus on your child. ”
