Pete Durand

Pete Durand, executive search founder, husband of 44 years, father of three, and grandfather of two, joins Evan and Joshua for a conversation that is less about career and more about what actually holds a life together over the long haul. He traces his family's health back to two things: faith at the center of his marriage and marrying someone who was simply wired to be a mother, and he is refreshingly honest about how much of his own parenting was a constant process of adapting, not just executing. The conversation moves through prayer, the first six years of parenting, what it looks like to let your kids grow into friends, and what Pete saw in a seven o'clock Mass one morning that made him want to kick himself in the face for caring about the wrong things. He closes with a practical word for what Unrationed is building, never lower the bar, but meet people where they are, because everyone starts at their first mile.
