S4E8: Why More Dads Need To Take Parental Leave (ft. Piotr Jan Pietrzak)

Welcome To Fatherhood

This episode features a conversation with my guest, Piotr Jan Pietrzak.
Piotr is the Director of International Development at BLIK, a leading European mobile payment system and scheme that is rapidly expanding in other geographies. Piotr earned his executive education certificate from Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2022. As a lifelong learner and an advocate of contributing back to the finance sector which he is so passionate about, Piotr prioritizes ongoing collaboration with academia to continue forging strong-ties to communities of learning, as well as to share his expertise and to provide broader knowledge as a commentator on the financial markets. Most importantly, Piotr is the father to a one year old son, and while on parental leave has published the following articles on LinkedIn:

• “I’m in the top 1% of super dads, so why are 99% of men not taking parental leave?”
• “Why taking parental leave makes you a better dad, partner and leader”
• “Four harmful myths about dads on parental leave”
• “Three arguments for adding “dad” (or “mom”) on your LinkedIn profile and why it is important“

Today, Piotr and I discuss the topic of parental leave, and reasons why more fathers need to take leave from work to spend valuable time with their newborn and family.
As always, thank you for spending part of your week with us.
