ANECDOTE

Moving For Fatherhood

  • Derek moved to New Zealand to be a full-time dad and give his son a childhood with freedom and his presence.
  • He values being present and aligning his life around parenting rather than career friction.
ADVICE

Choose Presence Over Prestige

  • Prioritize relationships over one-off prestige events when a child's sense of abandonment is triggered.
  • Communicate choices with children so they don't feel permanently replaced by your absence.
INSIGHT

Ideas Deserve Independence

  • Detach ideas from their authors so wisdom can stand on its own, regardless of the speaker's reputation.
  • Derek prefers anonymous focus on ideas rather than celebrity around their givers.
