What happens when you're trying to grow a business, provide for your family, be a present husband, and still be the dad your kids need?

In Episode 3 of De Paisano A Paisano, Raul Hernandez, Angel Hernandez, and Eric Ledesma step away from the market talk for a more personal conversation about fatherhood, family, entrepreneurship, and the pressure that comes with trying to balance it all.

The Paisanos talk about becoming fathers in their early twenties, raising sons and daughters, welcoming new babies, and how having children completely changed their motivation, priorities, and approach to business.

They also get honest about the pressure to provide, wondering whether they're doing enough, working long hours, finding support at home, and learning when it's time to slow down and simply be present.

Along the way, they share the small moments that have shaped them as dads, from video games and Chuck E. Cheese to watching their kids grow through completely different stages of life. They reflect on how children can teach adults to appreciate the things we often overlook and remind us that success isn't always about money, houses, vacations, or what we can buy.

Sometimes, the thing our kids remember most is simply the time we spent with them.
