My kids tell me how to be a better father
12/18/21 • 32 min
In this episode my oldest two kids sit down with me to answer some questions about how I can be a better father and how we can improve our family. I do one-on-ones every month with my employees to ensure that the working environment is positive for them, that they have what they need, that the job is still working well for them, and to go over any performance discussions we need to have. Doing so creates a strong company culture where people feel heard and creates an environment where they want to work.
I think it might be important to do something similar in the family to create a positive family culture where people actually want to be together, feel like they're heard, and operate in their zone of genius.
So today I sat down with my two oldest kids and asked them some of the same questions I ask my employees in our monthly one-on-ones. This is our first of likely many conversations about how our family can improve.

ABOUT ME
This is my personal podcast where I shares what I'm learning about growing a 7 figure business while also raising 7 children and deepening his relationship with my wife... all at the same time! When Dana and I married, I was earning only $14k a year as a youth pastor, but today my wife and I work together growing a business that provides YouTube strategy for some of the world's top brands and creators. During this time we also somehow managed to have 7 children in 8 years! It's an intense season of life, and these are the lessons I am learning through it all. http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=timschmoyer

Creating public accountability in the business and in the family
At work, people are held accountable to perform certain duties. At Video Creators, we use OKRs as a goal setting framework for how we set goals and accomplish them each quarter. Everyone's work is public and we're all accountable to each other for it.
At home, our kids should learn that lesson now with accountability. There should be goal charts, daily chores. If someone is struggling with their chore, have a family meeting to discuss changes. Sometimes the kid just needs to do something they don't like. Other times there's an opportunity to change how we do things so everything runs smoother.
In this episode I talk a bit about what that looks like both in our business as well as in our family with 7 little kids.
