Episode Work-Life Balance Is a Myth: 4 Dads Agree

0:00 11:51

On a topic dads argue about constantly, we found near-total agreement.

In this Dads Agree episode we play four takes from past Front Row Dads guests who — without ever comparing notes — all landed in the same place: work-life balance is a myth.

Chris Ducker calls it a myth outright.

Tucker Max says balance is "bullsh*t" because work is part of life.

Dave Allred argues "the price of greatness is imbalance."

And Eric Wohlwend offers the fix: "quit trying to balance and start to integrate."

The word they all reach for instead of balance? Integration.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Chris Ducker — why "balance" is a myth

• Tucker Max — work is part of life; integrate, don't balance

• Dave Allred — "the price of greatness is imbalance" (greatness comes in seasons)

• Eric Wohlwend — the fix: integrate, and "be where you are, 100%"
