<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/766853/open_sms">Send us a text</a>What happens when an orthopedic surgeon raised by immigrant parents decides to redefine success on his own terms? Dr. Jessy Sekhon takes us on a remarkable journey from his father's humble beginnings in an Indian village without electricity to his own pivotal decision to restructure his thriving medical practice for the sake of his family. Jessy's father studied under makeshift onion-string lights in cornfields, working tirelessly toward education as his only escape from poverty. This relentless work ethic carried through generations as Jesse's parents pushed academic excellence above all else. While this foundation propelled Jesse to Northwestern and UCLA and ultimately a successful surgical career, something was missing in his own approach to fatherhood. The turning point came when Jesse's two-hour commute meant missing his son's baseball practice. When his wife offered to help warm up their son instead, the boy's response hit like a thunderbolt: "Sorry mom, it's just not the same." Those six words catalyzed a complete reassessment of priorities, leading Jessy to negotiate a new work arrangement that allowed him to be physically present for school drop-offs, pick-ups, and those irreplaceable moments of connection. Through honest reflection, Jesse reveals his ongoing work to develop patience and acceptance as a father. He shares how he's learned to apologize to his children when he falls short, modeling accountability and emotional intelligence. His approach balances providing opportunities his immigrant parents couldn't afford him while ensuring his children remain grounded and grateful. Whether you're balancing a demanding career with family life or wrestling with how your own upbringing shapes your parenting, Jessy's story demonstrates that fatherhood isn't defined by perfection but by presence. Join us for a conversation that bridges cultures, generations, and reminds us that sometimes our greatest success is simply being there when our children need us most.<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-quarterback-dadcast/id1492347381">Please don't forget to leave us a review</a> wherever you consume your podcasts!
