Why Every Father Must Be The CEO of His Family

1000 Houses Podcast

Jeremy Pryor is joined by Blake Smith to discuss a chapter from Blake's upcoming book, Unicorn Family.

Using real-world, startup-based experiences from business, Blake argues that fathers should be the "CEO" of the family.

In today's social climate, this is a conversation people want to stop us from having...but lack of clarity and understanding in family leadership is destroying families! With so much at risk, it's worth getting uncomfortable to talk about leadership roles in a family and why a father is uniquely situated to be the one assuming the responsibility for the blessing of everyone involved.

In this episode, we talk about:
