Jacob Erekson - Business & Fatherhood, Crushing Comfort Zones - Episode #54
Thu Jan 22 2026
In this episode, I sit down with Jake for a powerful conversation about the intersection of entrepreneurship and fatherhood, and why both demand that we push the people we care about to grow, especially our kids. We talk about getting children out of their comfort zones early, letting them struggle, and why discomfort is often the fastest path to confidence, competence, and character.
As business owners, we recognize the same patterns in our companies that we see in our homes: growth requires risk, resilience, and repetition. Jake and I explore how those principles show up in parenting, how to build a family culture that values effort over ease, and what it means to raise kids who won’t look back one day wishing they had tried more, failed more, and lived bigger.
