One of the reasons we called this podcast “Millennial Dads” is because we believe our generation has a different approach to being parents than previous generations. But why do we believe that and what experiences did we have growing up that informs this new perspective? Brian and Andy discuss how they approach being dads, what their goals are for their children, and what we’ve learned from our parents.
