Zito's guest is a complete accident. An email to a different Craig Kessler leads to this random episode just talking to an every day dad. Craig doesn't have a book to plug. He's not a speaker or a dad coach. He's a guy with a wife and two young kids and a career and he's puts he's providing for his family and still being a part of his family. And that's the kind of dad we love. Craig and Zito talk about Craig's boomer dad, working remotely, and why Ghostbusters toys may not have been the best money spent. 

Dr. Michelle had a private practice and noticed that her adolescent female clients had something in common, a longing to connect with their fathers. She's made it her life's work to help Dads find their daughters hearts and hold them. Zito's conversation with her cuts deep into what Dads can do to make a connection with their daughters that may be missing and is so vitally important.
