26 min - S3E17 - To Teach Them To Be A Leader Follow
When they tell you who they are, it's time to follow. Teach them to lead by following. Communicate to them they are building a foundation. Explain what this means. Enforce their choice for self. Help build that autonomy and confidence, by stepping back. Then do what they are telling you they want you to do.
22 min - S3E16 - The Ghosts Not Left Behind
Bruce Springsteen: “We are ghosts or we are ancestors in our children’s lives. We either lay our mistakes and our burdens upon them, and we haunt them as ghosts. Or, we assist them in laying those old burdens down, and we free them from the chains of our own flawed behavior, and as ancestors, we walk alongside of them, assisting them to find their own way, and some sense of transcendence.”

About A Better Father
From the publisher's feed
I am a single father. A vegan for health, environment and animal safety reasons. I read, write, podcast and blog to be a better person and a better father (huh?huh?). Follow me in my journey as this life gets lived moment by moment, day by day. You are not alone. Even though we all feel it from time to time, that's okay. Come here and know you are not alone.
I’m not saying this is how it should be. It’s a thought experiment for how it could be.
