Fatherhood, Business, and Redefining Success with Gordon Reid

Psst! Support the podcast and

Today on the podcast, I am having a very honest chat with Gordon Reid, a designer who runs his own design agency all about the realities of juggling his business and becoming a parent, but also just the general challenge of running your own business.

I’ve had this sort of conversation a lot with women, but less so with men, and so I was really interested to dig in compare my experience.

I’m so grateful for his willingness to be open and honest with me and not bat an eyelid when I asked him difficult questions! I love hearing how different people overcome various challenges to build businesses that they love so I hope you enjoy the chat as much as I did.
