Matt Paulson worked 60-hour weeks in his twenties until his kids were born. Watching his father miss family moments as a night-shift cop made him rethink everything. He chose to be present for his children instead, even if his business suffered.
when I was 23, like, yeah, I worked 60 hours a week because that's what you do when you're 23. Um, but like, different part of life now. And like, um, when I was little, like, my dad was a police officer and had to work weird hours. And, um, you know, he'd be like sleeping when we came home after school because he had worked a night shift. And it's like, okay, um, I have the ability to be around when my kids are little, and I'm gonna be there. Um, and that's just something I decided a long time ago, like when my kids were born. And like going to change priorities and like, I'm going to be a good dad one way or the other. And like, my business suffers because of it, oh well.
