You didn’t go into business to miss bedtime and burn out.

Somewhere along the way between the hustle, the pressure to provide, and never ending to do list, the life you were building stopped feeling like yours.

In this episode, Carl sits down with marketing coach and all-around good human Adam Franklin to explore the unspoken truths about building a business while being a present, grounded dad. You’ll hear how Adam turned 4 to 5 hour workdays into his sweet spot for success, how he uses AI to create more space for parenting, not more pressure, and why he's chosen peace over hustle.

Carl and Adam also go deep into modern fatherhood, exploring how to model emotional resilience, why meditation doesn’t need to be weird or perfect to work, and how redefining success can make you more ambitious, not less.

Whether you’re a dad drowning in endless tasks or just want more time for what matters most, this episode will help with mindset shifts, practical examples, and one powerful reminder. You don’t have to do it all alone.
