Drew Scott Reassesses Work-Life Balance After 4-Year-Old Son Mimics Business Calls

Summary

  • Drew Scott said a "heartbreaking" moment with son Parker, 4, pushed him to rethink how often he is on his phone around his children.
  • Parker ran off, picked up a toy and said, "I'm on a business call," mirroring behavior Scott realized he had been modeling at home.
  • Scott said the wake-up call led him to stop taking calls around his kids and focus on being visibly present, listening and playing with them.
  • He pointed to small changes—like using a lunch break from filming to attend daughter Piper's music class, where he said the 2-year-old lights up when he shows up.
  • Scott, 48, framed the lesson as broader advice on setting priorities, saying a life spent only working can feel empty when family moments are missed.
