In addition to adjusting how he interacts with clients, Altman has also been forced to forego a number of professional appearances.
"I did 50 keynote speeches around the world last year," he explained. "You know, [this year] they all were canceled so I'm doing tons of Zoom speeches now."
With all of the changes—particularly Altman's increased time spent at home—he said he's realized just how grateful he is for his wife, Heather, who he shares a three-year-old and a 10-month-old with.
"Of course I'm a full-time dad, but I'm not a full-time, 24/7 dad because of my businesses to run. So to be thrown into that, it's impossible, I gotta tell you," Altman said. "I told my wife, I said first of all, you are the greatest person I've ever met in my life, and you can actually handle these kids like this on a daily level. I was like, I have a totally new respect for you. You 100 percent work way harder."
He continued, "You moms work way harder than I do at the office. I always thought I was the hardest worker in the world—moms are the hardest workers in the world. Because, like, I can turn it off at the office if I want it. You can't turn the kids off."
Despite the initial struggle to adjust, Altman said spending so much time with his kids has "changed me as a person."
