Key Takeaways Over 30 years of leadership experience in Silicon Valley, including scaling Mozilla from Series A to IPO. Balancing family and career is crucial during children’s formative years. Sales skills are valuable in every profession, not just sales roles. Travel fosters empathy and cultural understanding in children. Modeling behavior is more impactful than simply telling kids what to do. Setting boundaries between work and family leads to healthier relationships. The 996 work culture promotes burnout and imbalance. Financial literacy for kids is a must. Authenticity resonates more with audiences than polished perfection. 🔗 CONNECT WITH JIM COOK 🌐 BenchBoard Website: https://www.benchboard.com/ 👥 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cookflix/ 📩 Cook’s PlayBooks Newsletter: https://www.cooksplaybooks.com/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH YOUNG HAN 👥 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/younghan/ 🐦 X: https://twitter.com/younghan_ 💻 Website: https://www.alwayshan.com 🔗 CONNECT WITH THE GIRL DAD SHOW 🌐 Website: https://thegirldadshow.com/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheGirlDadShow/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGirlDadShow 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thegirldadshow 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-girl-dad-show
