This episode of Parenting Like a Superdad is a reflective conversation in which Randall Tom asks Derrick thoughtful questions about parenting, values, and decision-making when certainty fades.

Randel, a Bay Area native, aspiring broadcaster and journalist, and a sophomore at Syracuse University, brings a curious, generational perspective that helps surface deeper reflection around listening to the child, choosing values over nostalgia, and how confidence is built through trial, discomfort, and ownership.

The conversation explores the tradeoffs parents face when circumstances change and the importance of staying aligned while remaining open to adjustment.
