In this personal vlog, the speaker, a parent of a three‑year‑old child, explains why they deliberately decline work commitments after 5 p.m. on most evenings (six out of seven days). They argue that being consistently absent would lead their child to view them as a distant father by adolescence. By saying no to additional meetings or prospect calls, they prioritize "father time" to stay present, connected, and nurture a strong parent‑child bond, deeming this choice more valuable than extra work opportunities.

I have a 3-year-old, and if I am totally absent of her life because I'm saying yes to work, work, work, work, then by the age of 12, she doesn't care about me, right? Because she's off doing her own thing, and then she's gonna feel like a distant father. I'm saying no at 5 o'clock of 6 out of 7 days. I am saying no to work so that I can say yes to father time, and so I can be present and connected. So, uh, that's more important than having another meeting, have another prospect call, whatever it may be, right?
