Alexis Ohanian is no slouch. The 34-year-old is the co-founder of Reddit and a self-made millionaire, yet he has no problem admiring and learning from his wife Serena Williams.

Ohanian talked to *Fortune* magazine about the importance of parental leave and how he and Williams balance their careers and parenthood since Alexis Olympia Jr. joined their family in September. He admitted the 23-time Grand Slam champion has put things in perspective for him.

“I’ve realized how not hard my job is. I really couldn’t imagine doing my job in front of millions of people live like Serena,” Ohanian said. “Imagine giving founders advice knowing there was a real-time feed of people on Twitter watching it and saying, ‘Oh, that was some bad advice.’"

Williams pulled out of Madrid but is expected to kick off her clay season in Rome—the same city where she met Ohanian and where he proposed.
