How Has Fatherhood Changed the Way Garry Tan Works?
at 41:43
Garry Tan says nobody understands parenthood until it happens to them. He cannot work the way he did in his twenties and early thirties, when he would put in hundred-hour weeks and optimize for the job at the expense of everything else. That schedule is not available once there is a family. His business partner Alexis is also a father, and Kyle Tibbitts asks about the balance in quarantine as well as in an ordinary month. Tan's answer is the lost weeks, not a claim that the work got easier. The constraint is the hours he will no longer spend, and he talks about it as a fact he had to learn in person.
