Description

I’m going to tell you a secret. We — including me — are all just figuring this thing out. Life. Being a husband. Being a “good” dad.


We’re all learning, and we’re all making mistakes.


What’s important is that we OWN IT, we respond and repair, and we do the work necessary to move forward and be better next time.


Because at the end of the day there are little eyes that are watching,


and those little eyes have never been good at following your advice but they’ve never failed to emulate it.


In this episode with Shaun Frey (@OwnItDad), we discuss learning and growing as fathers, and the power of our example. We dive DEEP into relationship dynamics and how we can cultivate an intimate relationship with our wife even in the midst of parenthood. We even explore why the advice to “not burden your wife with your feelings” doesn’t work for us.


✊ Keep showing up, and stay on that path.
