I am grateful to a former fantastic guest (Justin Priest) for the kind intro that made today's episode possible.
Join us as we sit down with Don Goldberg, the executive director and founder of ConsultNet, who shares his inspiring journey of balancing fatherhood with his professional ambitions. From heartwarming tales of family life to the adrenaline-pumping moments of watching his son ski at 100mph, Don opens up about the vital role of communication in maintaining strong family ties.
Travel back in time with us to a small town near Boston, where community spirit and the simplicity of life painted a vivid backdrop for childhood memories. Don shares stories of roaming freely in a close-knit neighborhood, working alongside his industrious father in the vending machine business, and learning valuable lessons of hard work and structure. With a mother who balanced artistic flair with nurturing care, the foundation was set for a life of independence and community engagement. This nostalgic journey offers insights into how these formative years shaped both personal growth and business acumen.
We also explore the challenges and rewards of navigating work-life balance as a parent. Reflecting on his own experiences, Don discusses the strategy of being present for his son while pursuing professional success, inspired by leaders like Bill Gates.
From the emotional journey of raising a two-time Olympian to facing the intense physical challenges of competitive skiing, Don highlights the resilience and dedication required in both parenting and leadership.
