Episode 1: From Absent to Present

In our debut episode of Fatherhood Forward, join Wood, Jahi, and Corey as we dive into the deep and often emotional journey of fatherhood. We reflect on our own childhoods, discussing how the presence—or absence—of our fathers shaped us into the men and fathers we are today.

We tackle the tough topic of absent fathers and explore whether the excuse of not having a role model is valid. Despite the challenges we faced growing up, we’re committed to being present and positive influences in our children's lives. From resentment and forgiveness to the conscious effort of reaching out and rebuilding relationships, we share our personal stories and the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

Listen in as we discuss:

  • The impact of absent fathers
  • Reconnecting with our fathers
  • Overcoming resentment and finding forgiveness
  • The importance of being present in our children’s lives
  • Balancing discipline, understanding, and love
  • Reflections on our roles as fathers and the influence of strong women in our lives
  • This episode sets the stage for what’s to come in Fatherhood Forward—real conversations, genuine experiences, and a commitment to breaking generational cycles for the betterment of our families.

    Tune in and join the conversation as we embark on this journey together.
