Prof G! It’s Sean from the first question. You’d be happy to know, I am approaching 2 years at my current role ;). Thanks for taking the time to answer and give your advice. I love you and your shows, they have taught me so much. Happy Holidays!
Great Q/A. I benefited massively from AND highly reccomend job hoping often earlier in your career until you reach the director level. From there, internal org relationships forged over time are huge leverage in promotion opportunities. An analyst having a good relationship with manager means a lot less than a director having a meaningful relationship with VP.
The first two questions pair well with each other. My wife and I are about to have our first child in the next few days and I plan to use my NY family leave time. While pay is capped I feel we’re in a financially stable position it won’t negatively impact us. If you’re working hard to provide and care for your family, but can’t be present for the important moments, then what’s the point? Also, even though the father obviously doesn’t play as major of a role as the mother during the first few months, the father can still support the family around the house and with various responsibilities to reduce the burden for the mother.
I think his point is that if you don’t have that cushy security, the best thing you can do is continue working to allow the mother to support herself and the child without worrying about finances.
This paternity advice is a distillation of everything wrong with the American workplace . If you’re 41 years old and not established enough in your career to take 6+ weeks for a once in a lifetime event there’s something wrong with your work culture. The first 6 weeks are just as much about the bond with your partner in this dramatic change of life as it is with your newborn child. My wife had a rough recovery from a c-section and I probably changed every diaper for at least 4 weeks. It’s important we continue to support breast feeding but It really feel it’s been used by the business types like Scott to pass of all the responsibility of fathering in the first 6-months. The idea dads can’t do anything in the first six months is gross. Congratulations to Marty for the growing family. Modern Fatherhood is extremely demanding but there aren’t words for the first times that little hand grasps your finger and takes you around their world 12-15 months from now. Those first 12 weeks are extremely demanding / draining but make as much time as you can for family
Scott.. I'm 45 and never had any money, coming from a difficult family background. Thank you for your grounded, wholesome and funny podcast. Things are changing, also in terms of investing, and people like you and Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have quite a bit to do with that. Thanks! :)
12:44 - Stay in college. Be a college student. Enjoy friends. Get the degree. 2 more years, tiny blip for a Business degree. Especially if $ is flowing. Damn good place to be 🍀
Sometimes you need to hire a "rock star" employee who you know will leave in a year, but you need to have planned and decomposed your work such that a year's engagement will take your band of idiots to a higher level afterward, even in their absence.
Companies highly dislike promoting from within - it’s a cultural issue in the US. They don’t give out promotions to existing employees because the grass is always greener on the other side. Ideally, it’s a 2+1 deal… two years and evaluate your options. If you aren’t seeing a horizon for a promotion, leave immediately. Qasim, tell your son C’s get degrees.
I agree with Scott that men should not be involved in raising children unless they're rich. Rich people can live good lives poor people need to suck it up and make money for rich people.
That's not what he said. He's saying that their financial situation has a huge impact. He's saying get set up for the future to be more involved as a parent.
@seza1713 Hes clearly saying if you are poor forgo spending time with your children in pursuit of money. If you are really poor, ditch your kids. He opposes clearly a society with security and time for families.
@parkmannate4154 he’s not saying it so black and white as you’d suggest - sounds like he put in a big effort to be there for his wife and kids and actively raise his children while also prioritizing his career. He also mentions that his wife prioritized her career. When he talks about contributing, he’s not saying men should “not be involved”
I think that men are pretty useless for the first six months like he said. What I will be doing during those for six months is watching the two other kids while she handles the little one.

3rd call was the most monotonal delivery I've heard in years...
Scott:"I can hear the emotion in your voice"😂
Galloway is the only reason I’m sad I went to USC and not NYU
USC is still a great school! Good on you…

Good mix of questions, with great responses. Appreciate the insight and reflection.
As a recent dad, my daughter didn't care too much about me until she was definitely after 6 months lol

Left college to start a business and now I’m going to finish up at 48.
Information is online now
thank you Prof G
I love how the host shares their personal experiences and insights, making the advice feel more relatable and authentic.
Wow what a real comment from a real person
@@CVA46643😂
@@CVA46643 seriously who talks like that
Great comment very valuable
Very solid advice.
Day 69: Please bring on Gary Stevenson (Garys Economics)! Thanks!
Why? That guy is a yapper, nothing more!
Some wild takes here but atleast he’s honest

These are great. Too short
I feel like it really depends on the industry you’re in regarding the value of job hopping….
Great response on the Paternity Leave question.
Unless it’s paid leave, go back to work after a week or two
Finish school always. Social media marketing in a young person’s profession.
1 week off after having a kid 😂.
What a joke.
Even WW2 woman fighting the war effort got more than that.
Are you able to get rid of those sound effects. Anxiety inducing. Makes it hard to listen before bed.
I can't believe how out of touch some people are about job-hopping. It's the only way to grow in today's job market! 🙄📈
IF you have the skills, credentials and the experience, job hoping can POTENTIALLY work. However there is no guarantee it works for everyone.
