    The Real Secret Behind Great Dads (From a Founder & Chef)

    What happens when success burns you out… and forces you to redefine everything? Jon Morrison went from high-pressure restaurant kitchens working 16–18 hour days to building a thriving ice cream business — all while learning how to be present as a father, partner, and entrepreneur. This conversation isn’t about overnight wins.It’s about burnout, identity, reinvention, and learning that success means nothing if it costs your health and family. In this episode, we talk about: → The real intensity of elite kitchens (and why burnout happens) → How a $2,000 ice cream machine turned into a business → The moment that changed everything during the pandemic → Balancing entrepreneurship, fitness, and fatherhood without losing yourself → Why movement, walks, and community matter more than motivation If you’re trying to build something meaningful while keeping your life together — this episode will hit home.
