Serious question: Can someone be both a terrific parent (not just ‘good’) AND wildly successful (not just moderately) in business? Or Are the temperaments, priorities, and foci for what makes someone wildly successful in one so inherently different, that they cannot optimize for both?

Parenting is a “needy job”. That is, children need you at sometimes inopportune times and it is necessary to drop other things to meet this need when called. It is very much possible to succeed in a job at the same time, but that job cannot also be “needy”. You cannot have too needy jobs at the same time.
