On My Mind: Raising Kids & Building Companies
Raising kids and building companies have more in common than we like to admit.
Both expose you. Both test your patience, your ego, your need for control. Both have a way of surfacing the parts of you that still need work, usually right when you’re tired, busy, and convinced you don’t have time for self-reflection.
Your kids will mirror your emotional regulation. Your company will mirror your leadership gaps. When you overreact at home or over manage at work, it’s rarely about the moment, rather, it’s about something deeper asking for attention. You can’t outsource presence. You can’t shortcut trust. And you definitely can’t fake patience for long.
Doing both in Miami is its own kind of blessing, and its own kind of eye-opener.
This city moves fast. It’s loud. It’s aspirational. It celebrates growth, visibility, and momentum. Raising a family here while building something from scratch forces a constant recalibration of values. What actually matters? What’s noise? What kind of life are you modeling?
Kids don’t care about scale. Companies don’t care about excuses. Both respond to consistency, boundaries, and emotional honesty.
What’s been on my mind is this: the same inner work required to be a good parent is the work required to be a good founder. Healing your impatience. Rewriting your relationship with fear. Learning when to guide and when to step back.
Miami is the perfect backdrop, the beauty, the chaos, the ambition. But the real work happens quietly, in how you show up every day, at home and at work.
That’s the blessing and the big reveal.

Ross and Griffin Launch Campaign for South Florida’s Future
Two of the most powerful businessmen in the country just made their clearest statement yet: South Florida is where the next generation of American business should be built.
Stephen Ross (Miami Dolphins owner and chairman of Related Ross) and Ken Griffin (founder and CEO of Citadel) have teamed up to launch a $10 million national campaign aimed at attracting major companies from New York, California, and other legacy business hubs to Florida, with a heavy focus on the Miami–Palm Beach corridor.
The initiative, backed by the Florida Council of 100, is designed to reposition South Florida as a serious headquarters destination for finance, tech, and high-growth companies. Not quietly. Not subtly. Loudly, strategically, and with real money behind it.
