Ever wondered how to raise resilient, confident leaders in today's fast-paced world? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Kevin D'Anna, a father of three boys and leadership coach, who shares his journey of intentional parenting and fostering leadership skills in his children.

“be present for your children, show up for them, make that practice, make that recital, practice with them, spend time with them. Because you only get a short amount of time to do it. And once the day has passed, you don't get to go backwards and try it again.” – Kevin D’Anna

Kevin reveals his insights on balancing entrepreneurship with hands-on fatherhood, offering invaluable advice for dads who want to create deeper connections with their kids. We explore:

The Power of Showing Up

Discover why being present for your children, even when you think it doesn't matter, is crucial for building strong family bonds. Kevin shares his experiences of prioritizing his kids' activities and why it's essential for their development.

Listening with Intent

Learn why developing the skill of listening to learn, rather than to respond, can transform your relationship with your children. Kevin explains how this simple shift in mindset can lead to more meaningful conversations and deeper understanding.

Embracing Failure as a Learning Tool

Uncover how allowing your children to face challenges and sometimes fail can actually build resilience and problem-solving skills. Kevin offers practical tips on supporting your kids through tough times without solving everything for them.

Building an Entrepreneurial Spirit

Understand the importance of fostering an entrepreneurial mindset in your children, even if they don't become business owners. Kevin reflects on how problem-solving skills and innovative thinking can benefit kids in any future career path.

Remember, being a great dad isn't about perfection - it's about showing up, listening, and creating meaningful connections with your children. Are you ready to transform your approach to fatherhood and build lasting bonds with your kids?
