In this week's episode, Kim and I reflected deeply on parenting teens, being vulnerable, and how that has shaped our relationship with our son, Colby. We opened up about how a moment of empathy from him after football practice reminded me he’s growing into a thoughtful young man. 

I shared how telling him about my struggles after my cardiac arrest shifted something big in our relationship and it created trust and connection. We’re not parenting experts, just parents learning in real time. One big takeaway: vulnerability matters. We also talked about the idea that we only get 3–5 “home runs” with our kids, moments that truly shape them. The rest? Imperfect, messy, but filled with love. And that’s OK. What matters is showing up real and honest. 

I’m proud of how we’ve handled both the public and private sides of our life, and I’m especially proud of the dad I’m becoming; human, present, imperfect, and always learning.

Thanks for for listening to this episode, it was a deep one.
