In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, host Young Han sits down with Kevin Noble, a mechanical engineer turned operator and finance partner, to explore how intentional parenting and entrepreneurship intersect. After a decade helping Atlassian scale—including leading a 135-person enablement organization—Kevin founded Group 18 in 2025, where he now serves as a fractional COO, helping companies deliver predictable execution, make faster decisions, and increase margins.

Kevin shares his personal journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship, how meditation has shaped his parenting, and why he believes love is an act—not just a feeling. He opens up about his approach to raising three kids in Austin with his wife and two rescued pit bulls, the lessons learned from his upbringing, and his philosophy of fostering curiosity, presence, and self-awareness in both business and parenting.
