What happens when the Chief Revenue Officer of a successful company opens up about the ups and downs of fatherhood? We had the privilege of sitting down with Matt Green, founder of Sales Assembly, who shares his heartfelt journey of balancing an ambitious career with the rewarding yet challenging role of being a dad. He opens up about the joys and hurdles of raising his 12-year-old son, providing invaluable insights on gratitude and the significance of cherishing each family moment.
Ever wondered how children, raised in the same environment, can turn out entirely different? Matt and I delve into the fascinating dynamics of family life, sharing stories about our own siblings and how our distinct paths have shaped our lives. From my son's balanced and successful journey to the diverse careers of my three brothers, we explore how individual traits and choices mold our family experiences. Adding a touch of humor, we reminisce about the early days of meeting our spouses and navigating the initial years of marriage, all while tying it back to the broader theme of family and personal development.
Losing a parent is never easy, and Matt and I discuss the emotional complexities that come with such a profound loss. We emphasize the importance of sibling relationships in coping with grief and the irreplaceable value of being present for a parent's final moments. On a lighter note, we share the amusing side of working from home during COVID-19, with children curious about their parents' work lives.
Wrapping up our conversation, Matt participates in a fun lightning round, revealing his favorite comedy movies and sharing a hypothetical book title about his life. Join us for a heartfelt, insightful, and often humorous episode that underscores the importance of authentic connections and the simple moments that truly matter in life.
