Because at the end of the day, as parents, we’re only selling one product: Influence.This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a call to action. To show up. To ask better questions. To be the kind of father that changes the game for generations.Whether you're crushing it or just trying to figure it out, this one's for you.

In this episode, we’re diving into a foundational pillar of fatherhood—integrity. As John C. Maxwell puts it: “Reputation is what people think we are.
