Show Notes

Entrepreneurs are great at leading teams, making decisions, and optimizing time. But what happens when those same skills show up at home—and start to hurt your closest relationships?

In this episode, Dr. Walling shares the 4 entrepreneurial mindsets that often cause trouble at home—and what you can do differently.

  1. Self-importance around time – why treating family moments as “below you” creates distance.

  2. Productivity over presence – how chasing efficiency can crowd out play.

  3. Reviewing family members like employees – why constant appraisal kills safety and connection.

  4. Expecting instant implementation – what happens when you “CEO” at home.

And last, the best lessons you can actually learn from family life — lessons that will make you a stronger, more human leader.
