I'm changing things up this week in honor of Father's Day in the United States! I interviewed my first guy for the show!
Steve Layman is the perfect first guest because he not only took 5 years off to stay home with his two boys, but he also has a history of hiring people out of their own career pauses - including me!
In this episode, you'll hear:
- Why Steve and his wife decided he would be the one to stay home from the beginning
- His 3 rules for being a stay-at-home-parent
- How Steve got his first customer before launching his company
- How being his own boss gave him the flexibility to parent and work
- Steve's perception on whether it's harder for men or women to return to the workforce
- How men who take a career pause experience the same issues confidence and identity
- Why, in hindsight, Steve wishes he had found a part-time project for himself while he was home with his kids
