If your business costs you your presence, your peace, or your kids’ childhood, you’re doing it wrong. This conversation shows you another way.

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 4–5 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.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between being a great dad and a great entrepreneur, this episode will feel like a deep breath. It’s not about choosing one or the other. It’s about creating a life where both can thrive.
