The Two Arenas

Conversations with founders and CEOs building great companies and being present dads. About the show: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena…” - Theodore Roosevelt The business arena is the one most founders and executives know well. It's mapped, written about, celebrated. The other arena, being a present father while leading a company, is rarely entered with the same intention, and almost never discussed with the same seriousness. That's the conversation I want to have with my guests. In every episode we explore fatherhood first and the business they've built second. We talk about the tensions, the decisions, and the unexpected ways each arena shapes the other. Hosted by Mat Kaliski, Partner at Acronym Venture Capital and a new dad to Jack.
