I think a lot of men use work to avoid being home. Masquerading as work. Staying in the office late. Checking emails. Fucking around. Because it's often easier than packing up, going home, and being a father, being a husband. The role models I seek in business/entrepreneurship.

The Great Lock in. Quite easy for a single guy in your 20s. Show me the Dads building businesses and careers and staying locked in their 30s. The chances of success shrink dramatically. Here’s to the lock in.

4 weeks out from the second annual Exit Five "Drive" event in Vermont. 230 tickets sold. People flying in from all over the world. It's a day of talks, then breakout groups with peers (we match people based on interest). Plus this year we're getting out of the conference rooms.
