Being a dad is hard. Being a girl dad comes with a whole different set of challenges.
In this episode of Fatherhood Unscripted, I sit down with Russell Kimura, founder of Fathers With Daughters and father of three teenage girls. Russ shares what he’s learned about connection, presence, emotional leadership, and why dads must intentionally pursue relationships with their daughters—especially as they grow older.
We talk about:
Why dating your daughter matters
How dads can become a safe space for their girls
The difference between being present vs. being intentional
Why fathers were never meant to do this alone
How community and mentorship shape better dads
Russ also shares the heart behind Father–Daughter Proms, coaching, and building environments where dads and daughters can connect in meaningful ways.
If you’re a dad raising daughters—or preparing for what’s ahead—this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
