Episode Two Dads on What's Actually Working at Home Right Now

0:00 35:48

FRD members Jason Lee and Taylor Frame sit down for a real conversation about what's actually working at home right now. Jason has a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old and is deep in the sleepless years. Taylor has a 10-year-old, a 6-year-old, and a 3-year-old and has been through it. Different phases, same mission. Two dads comparing notes.

What they get into:

→ Why both of them filter all productivity and business advice through one question: do you have kids?

→ Why every kid is a different project and you can't parent them the same way

→ How Taylor built systems around outdoor living (e-bikes, outdoor showers, gear stations) because his family falls apart the minute they go inside

→ Why Jason is learning to stop resenting the middle-of-the-night wake-ups and start seeing them as moments he'll miss

→ The question Taylor asks instead of "be careful" that gives his kids room to think before they jump

→ How Jason uses a harness to let his kids learn to run and fall without smashing their face

→ Taylor gave his 10-year-old $100 at a mall and what she did with it surprised him

→ Why a good life isn't a life without problems and why the hard parts are usually the best parts

If you're in the early years and feeling like you can't see straight, this one's for you. If you're past them, it'll remind you how far you've come.
