Hosted by Dan Caldwell & Ildiko Ferenczi
On this episode of the Entrepreneur Parents Pretty and Punk Podcast, Ildiko Ferenczi and Dan Caldwell jump into a truth that every parent in the entrepreneurial grind needs to hear: your kids don’t need the perfect version of you, they just need you.
In a world that glorifies hustle and celebrates success, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that providing more, achieving more, or working harder will somehow compensate for missed moments. But the reality is, your presence matters far more than your perfection.
Dan and Ildiko open up about the guilt so many entrepreneur parents carry, the guilt of not being enough, not doing enough, or missing too much. They share raw, real insights into how showing up intentionally, even in small ways, creates the kind of connection and legacy that no amount of money or milestone ever could.
Being present doesn’t mean being perfect, it means being available, being aware, and being in the moment, even when life is messy.
If you’ve ever felt torn between your mission and your motherhood, your business and your fatherhood, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that what your kids will remember isn’t how busy you were it’s how seen they felt.
This is your permission to stop chasing perfection and start choosing presence. Because the legacy you’re building isn’t just in what you accomplish… it’s in the moments you choose to show up for.
