In this compelling new episode of "New Dad City," titled "095. Eric H: Is There Such A Thing As 'Balance'?", we sit down with Eric H, my business partner and occasional co-host, for an introspective look into the elusive quest for balance in life. Eric candidly shares his journey through the demanding world of entrepreneurship, the deep sense of responsibility he feels as a father, and the relentless pursuit of success that often leaves him questioning the real meaning of balance.

As a father who has built a substantial real estate portfolio and achieved financial independence at an impressively young age, Eric seems to have it all. Yet, beneath the surface of success lies a constant struggle with the guilt of not being "enough" for his family. His story is a raw and emotional exploration of the sacrifices required to chase a dream, the impact of those choices on family life, and the internal conflict that comes with striving for greatness while striving to be present.
