In this episode of Flip That Switch, I engaged in a heartfelt discussion with guests Doug, Jonathan, and Brenton about the significance of fatherhood. We explored their personal experiences with absentee fathers, the impact on their identities, and the lessons they aim to impart to their own children. The conversation delves into the importance of guidance, validation, and the desire to break the cycle of poor fatherhood. Each guest shared their role models and aspirations for their own parenting journeys, emphasizing the need for intentionality and presence in their children's lives.
