How Has Fatherhood Changed the Way Garry Tan Works?

From the episode: Garry Tan — Building the world you want to live in

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.
