A short YouTube monologue by Donald Burns urging parents to practice leadership at home by prioritizing family time over work. Burns emphasizes modeling work–life balance for children, being physically and emotionally present, and teaching that success need not require sacrificing important family relationships.

Leadership isn't just about being a boss at work. True leadership starts at home. It's about showing up as a leader in your family. It's about setting the example, showing your kids what balance actually looks like. Teaching them that success doesn't have to mean sacrificing everything that actually matters. I mean, come on, you want your kids to respect you? Then if you want that, be the parent who's there, who makes time, who shows them that family comes first.
