What does it actually take to build a demanding career and show up as a present, intentional dad? In this episode, commercial real estate professional Josh Rothstein shares how he blends the two, from waking up early to protect quality time, to bringing his daughter into his work world so she can see him in action.
Josh opens up about the emotional milestones of parenting, how he uses everyday work experiences to teach his daughter resilience and patience, and why effort-based praise matters more than outcomes when building a child's confidence.
