On this episode, we sit down with Corwin Melvin, a father who’s been through the fire—divorce, custody battles, and the struggle to stay in his kids’ lives. But instead of letting life knock him down, he fought back.

Corwin shares how growing up without a father shaped the way he parents his three sons, why showing up is the #1 rule of fatherhood, and how he turned his pain into purpose by writing a book.

Corwin’s story isn’t just about surviving—it’s about winning as a father, no matter what life throws at you. If you’re a dad, a parent, or just someone trying to break old cycles, this episode is for you.
