The Balancing Act of an International Lawyer and Father - Interview with Matt Purcell
Today's guest, Matt Purcell, currently works as an international lawyer for Simplot in Boise. After starting his career as a lawyer on the east coast he returned to his native Boise Idaho to work with Micron and eventually landed at Simplot. In today's discussion, we talk about the difficulties of traveling and working internationally while simultaneously trying to be a good father and husband. We discuss setbacks and triumphs as Matt tells about his journey. He gives advice to students and full-time workers alike. His advice is applicable to anyone trying to be a better father, husband, mother, wife, etc... We discuss how creating memories with our kids will cultivate a lifelong bond that won't easily be broken. We also discuss how much a small phone call in the middle of the day from your kids can mean to a parent. It was an honor to chat with Matt and I hope any listener can take this interview, find nuggets of wisdom, and become a little bit better because of it. Enjoy!
