I know that there are going to be trade offs that I'll have to make. A lot of awful stuff went down in the name of family, but it made me be able to empathise a lot more. It really helped me understand the lengths that people will go to defend the legacy that is their family. It's to provide for this legacy, for my family. Last week, through his venture capital firm Initialised Capital, he released those conversations as a new podcast, Business Dad.Īlexis Ohanian: Well, what I meant is really crystallised why I do the work that I do. For Ohanian, that means asking fathers the same question we always ask mothers: "How do you balance it all?" So Ohanian went out, brought together a crew of powerhouse dads across sports, business and entertainment (from Nicholas Thompson to Chris Bosh to The Kid Mero) and asked them. Part of that advocacy involves challenging the cultural and social biases we bring to a father’s role in childcare and domestic life. But since the arrival of his two-year-old daughter, Alexis Olympia, he’s increasingly blurring the lines between the two roles, thanks to a very vocal advocacy for quality paid family leave after his experience with a 16-week paternity leave. Depending on how you’ve curated your Twitter feed, you know Alexis Ohanian as one of two things: a tech figurehead and investor revered as a cofounder of Reddit or the husband of tennis "goat" Serena Williams.
