John Jackson – Executive Producer/President, Launch Media

Age: 38
Child: Hayes (pictured), 20 months
Spouse: Fairleigh Cook Jackson

My biggest challenge: Living up to my own expectations of what the role of a father is.

Advice for other busy dads: Time goes by so quickly, so be present when you’re together.

A lesson from my father: Hayes is a little young for lessons. But when I was growing up, follow-through was always important to my father. If I committed to something, I had to finish.

How we connect: We love tossing the ball together in the backyard.
