What matters more–providing for our families, or being there for our spouses and our kids while we make incredible memories?

When I learned that entrepreneur Tyler Gunter decided to make big changes in his life and retired at the age of 30 to show up for his family first and his business second, I knew I needed to talk to him. 

Tyler is the founder of Adventure Dads, a group of about a dozen dads that take trips with their children of all ages. They’ve gone spelunking, rode go-karts, and explored artificial biospheres, to name just a few of their activities. More importantly, they’ve also helped kids foster incredible friendships and forge connections within their community.

In our conversation today, Tyler and I talk about the power of influence and mentorship when it comes to our kids–and how we can be a positive presence in our kids’ lives, even when they stop wanting to listen to us. We also talk about what it means to live a balanced and intentional life, and the beauty of learning to let go.

Tyler Gunter’s Bio

Tyler Gunter is a loving husband of 12 years and a father to three children first and foremost. He’s also an Entrepreneur, Investor, Author and Consultant. As a specialist in turn around projects, he has successfully owned and assisted in the turn around of several companies over the past 15 years.  

After a challenging birth experience for him and his wife when their twins were born, he quickly realized that the most important role he had was to be a present Husband and Father.  

Tyler turned his focus to creating an environment where he could be more available to his family and tied less to his business, and within just a few short years he retired before the age of 30. Since then he has helped many others find their passion and strategy to intentionally create a life full of balance and freedom.
