Ken Sim: Mayor by Day, Father by Night
“If you’re self sufficient, you can do anything, and its really cool seeing our kids on that journey where they’re become independent and kind, self-led adults.”
Hello friends! Thank you for joining us on this very special episode of 2 Dads 1 Car! Our guest today is Ken Sim, a businessman, a leader, and a father to 4 sons. He is also the mayor of Vancouver!
Our conversation includes a very candid discussion of how the experience of being a second-generation Asian immigrant and the spotlight of public office have shaped Ken’s perspective not only on fatherhood, but also on the experiences of the community. Ken also offers a refreshing commentary on how your role as a parent changes as you and your children enter different stages of life, and how to balance your commitment to your family and career in a way that encourages growth on both sides. Finally, Ken and I discuss the relationship between fatherhood, family, and personal success, and the importance of both parents and children seeing each other succeed in our joint journeys together through life.
Thank you for joining us on this episode of 2 Dads 1 Car! Many thanks to Ken for making the time for this episode, and special shout-out to my cousin, Kristian Young, for helping me out behind the scene!
