Eric Carroll: Family first: building a career and a wonderful home life

Eric Carroll, Senior Director of Product for Nursegrid and Keener at HealthStream, learned valuable lessons from his father’s career as an entrepreneur, and he’s applied them to his own work in non-traditional ways. Eric is a product leader with experience in education, consumer goods, and healthcare. He is also a husband and parent with a strong vision for how a career fits around a wonderful life for his family.

Tom and Eric discuss deciding what kind of leader you want to be — Step 4 of the 12 Steps of Product Management. And Eric talks about managing your family as a product, complete with off-site meetings and goal-setting with your partner. Tom slips in a casual reference to reading Seneca.
