Juggling a schedule for one person is tricky enough; for a two-entrepreneur household with kids, it’s another thing altogether! Learn how Jess and Dave make time for each other, for themselves, and for their deep work in today’s conversation about creating free time together as a family.
More About Jessica: Jessica Marati Radparvar is a social impact strategist motivated by the belief that doing the right thing should be as easy as humanly possible. She is the founder of Reconsidered, a boutique consultancy and content platform that helps impact leaders drive bigger, bolder, more sustainable change.
More About Dave: Dave Radparvar is an entrepreneur, father, and amateur skateboarder. In 2009, he co-founded Holstee, a company that offers inspiration and tools to help you live a more meaningful life. In 2020, he co-founded Reflection.app, a guided digital journal for mental wellness. Dave lives in Amsterdam with Jess and their son Shilo.
🌟3 Key Takeaways:
📝Permission: Jess says, “For entrepreneurs who are new parents: accept where you are in your journey, you might not be able to accomplish everything you used to be able to. Be compassionate and loving to yourself. This time is temporary.” From Dave, “Do the things for yourself in the morning that set you up for mental and physical wellness. Work can wait until you have spent some time on what makes you feel happy and energized.”
✅Do (or Delegate) This Next: Give yourself, or your business, a haircut. What is no longer working or serving you? Find something that needs to go or change to make room for something new. (Or just enjoy a new look!)
