Reflecting on their contrasting Father's Day experiences, Ryan and Kipp kick off this week's Ask Me Anything with a personal touch. They then dive into a critical discussion around the House's recent defense bill. They explore the multifaceted implications of this decision, including the establishment of a drone force and the nuanced considerations of gender identity within these regulations.

Switching gears, Ryan and Kipp dissect a thought-provoking interview with Joe Missoula, head coach for the Boston Celtics. Missoula's emphasis on his Christian faith over racial identity in sports challenges prevailing narratives and offers a fresh lens on leadership and diversity. 

They delve into heartfelt discussions on personal growth and parenting. For first-time fathers, Ryan offers invaluable tips on supporting partners and fostering bonds with newborns. He champions the idea of gradually introducing children to life's challenges, preparing them for independence. The episode concludes with insights on effective networking, the balance of parenting styles, and the perpetual journey of self-improvement.
