This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ben Maddern, stay-at-home dad and founder of South Australia's Strongman competition.
Four years ago, at 47, I embarked on a huge life shift: I sold my business, stopped working, and became a stay-at-home dad for the first time.
It's been a huge shift for me, and I've learned more about myself these last few years than at any time in my career.
I've learned new things about myselfIf I had to give parenting advice to anyone, I'd say: just take it day by day.
Not only has being a stay-at-home dad taught me it is OK to step out of your comfort zone, but it's important to do so.
