“Iconic” – Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian delighted by viral image of coal miner taking his son to basketball game after work

Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian was delighted by an image of a coal miner taking his son to a game immediately after work. Ohanian, who hosts a podcast called 'Business Dad', tagged the coal miner father as an iconic business dad for being able to navigate his personal and professional life.

Ohanian started a podcast on how successful fathers, across industries such as business, sports, entertainment, and more balance their family and work. His motivation behind this podcast was to show how fathers struggle to 'have it all'.

The Reddit co-founder is very active on his social media, sharing titbits from his life as a father, husband, and a 'business dad'. He recently shared a viral image of a coal miner, who finished his work day at 5:00 and took his son to a basketball game at 6:00. The miner was still dressed in his work attire.

The image, published on August 29, has since gone viral and has garnered 19 million views and counting. It also has over 350,000 likes and close to 4,000 comments.

Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian gave an interview to People about why he decided to host a podcast on the niche of 'Business Dads'. The Reddit co-founder said that he had conversations with many successful fathers about managing fatherhood and work.

"It was just a couple of years after Olympia was born. I started having so many more conversations once I became a dad with other successful dads, across industries, who had so many things that they wanted to share about their own struggles. And there was something about these conversations that just struck me as so fantastic, because it was like I just joined this club that I didn't know existed," he said.

He added that fathers were always as concerned about being good fathers as they were about being professional successes.

"I discovered the people who I knew through business, who are at the top of their field, cared just as much if not more about the moves they were making as dads," he added.

Serena Williams married Alexis Ohanian in 2017 and they welcomed their first daughter Olympia the same year. Their second daughter, Adira, was born in 2023.
