Episode 326. The CEO your kids are watching w/ Timothy Rexius, Founder and CEO of Omaha Protein Popcorn

Interview

Jun 23

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who are building ambitious companies while thinking about what their kids are learning from the way they work.

My guest is Timothy Rexius, entrepreneur, speaker and business owner who is building multiple companies while raising six kids.

Timothy and I talk about the overlap between entrepreneurship and parenting, and why those identities are not as separate as we sometimes pretend they are. He shares how his kids and family have become part of the businesses over time, what it looks like to build with legacy in mind and why he and his wife keep their kids involved in conversations about the companies, money and the bigger picture behind the work.

We also get into the difference between leading at work and leading at home. Timothy talks about the sense of urgency that can work in business, why that same approach does not always translate to family and how he thinks about giving his kids context around ambition, success, pressure and the grind they see modeled every day.

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation: your kids do not just inherit what you build, they inherit how they watched you build it. Timothy’s perspective is a reminder that if your family sees the work, they also need to understand the purpose, the tradeoffs and the values behind it.

Tune in if you’re building something ambitious and want to be more intentional about the example your kids are watching.
