With Father's Day approaching this weekend, it's time to honor those heroes in our lives, but should we be framing dads as heroes?
My friend and Author of "Daddy Saturday" Justin Batt says, "When you set yourself up as the hero, then it becomes about you, not about your kids," he shares. "When you position yourself as the guide rather than a hero, you allow your ego and your pride to drop."
Justin is changing perceptions and challenging the constructs of fatherhood through his work by connecting the men he works with to a purpose. Justin is on a mission to reignite and restore fatherhood around the world and change the next generation for the better.
He's not all talk, either. During our conversation, Justin shares the inflection point that has caused him to raise his own children in an intentional way. This moment and the effects following inspired him to write his book, "Daddy Saturday: How to Be an Intentional Dad to Raise Good Kids Who Become Great Adults," a playbook for raising your kids to become productive, confident, happy adults.
Justin shares what he's learned as a father and how the next generation of fathers can raise their children with intentionality on today's episode of Celebrations Chatter.
