I was recently interviewed by Sarah Spear at The Parentalist, a new blog featuring parents who are “making an impact on the world, in business and in their local communities”.

You listen to (or download) the audio:

On a related note, today I added the job “Parent at My Family” to my LinkedIn profile.  Why is that?  Parenthood teaches you:

• Putting the needs of others ahead of your own
• Functioning with next to no sleep
• Dealing with life-and-death unexpected emergencies
• Motivating others
• Communicating with people with a wide range of skills
• Managing conflicting priorities
• Building community
• Financial management in uncertain conditions
• … and the list goes on …

All of these are critical skills for business success in general, and startup success in particular.

Enjoy.
