Alexis Ohanian, best known for his entrepreneurial success and as Serena Williams’ spouse, regularly goes above and beyond for his daughters. Even with a busy schedule, he prioritizes spending quality time with them – setting admirable fatherhood standards; yet calling himself an admirable dad doesn’t adequately capture Ohanian’s dedication.
Ohanian took to Instagram on Sunday morning with his attempt at making ice cream-shaped pancakes for Olympia as she made an unusual request at breakfast time, winning hearts worldwide with his post marked #PapaPancakes — inspiring immense admiration of his fatherly love!
In response to the outpouring of love, Kia J Brooks, notably Flau’jae Johnson’s mother, commended Ohanian, calling him “the best dad in the whole wide world.” Ohanian, always striving for more, humorously questioned if he could be considered the best across all generations. His dedication shines through his social media, where he often expresses pride and joy in being a father.
Ohanian’s passion for pancakes and sharing these moments with his daughters, Olympia and Adira, highlights the joy he finds in fatherhood. In conversations, such as on the Business Dad Podcast with José Andrés, he openly discusses how fatherhood has transformed his worldview, enriching his life immeasurably.
Confronting Criticism with Grace
Ohanian is setting new benchmarks in fatherhood with his commitment to family time as an entrepreneur, defying expectations set upon entrepreneurs by challenging criticism from business circles about his time commitment with family. By his actions he redefines what balance means between work and family life while challenging stereotypes about fatherhood and setting new ones in fatherhood.
As Ohanian navigates both the joys and challenges of parenthood, his influence will inevitably shape discussions around fatherhood in business circles. What is clear though, is that Alexis Ohanian remains committed to being not just an exceptional but outstanding parent, continually raising standards when it comes to caring for and nurturing his family.
