This week's conversation with Ali Jafarian shares the importance of connecting with your children on an emotional level.  We discuss how he found fulfillment in fatherhood after his son was born. We dive deeper into how to he encourages his kids in finding the passions that bring them joy and how to recognize what to drop. He challenges dads to take on the "nurture" role once in awhile within their family and shares practical tips on how to do it. The strong emotional foundation we build for our young children now will impact generations to come. This is a great listen for dads wanting to deeper their connection with their kiddos.

Ali Jafarian is pursing a life of adventure with his wife, Gabrielle, and two kids, Everest and Sepia. He loves to travel and experience new cultures. He prioritizes his health and credits being in nature to one of his greatest teachers. He reads, writes, listens and records to fuel his creativity.
