A special Father's Day episode. Mario sits down with friends Dan Martinez and Salvador "Sal" Hernandez — fathers, mentors, and men who've each walked very different paths to fatherhood — for an honest, unscripted conversation about what it really means to show up, be present, and rewrite the script your own father may have handed you.

Whether you grew up with a father who was always there, one who worked himself into the ground to provide, or no father at all — this episode is for you. And if you've lost a child or lost a father, this one holds space for you too.

In This Episode

• Growing up with (and without) present fathers — and how it shaped each of their parenting styles
• The difference between showing up and being truly present
• Learning each child's love language — because no two kids need the same thing
• Letting go of what "providing" really means
• The biggest challenge each father faces today, from fear to learning to meet each kid where they're at
• Why community and asking for help isn't optional for men — it's necessary
• The line that gave this episode its name: rewrite the script
