In this episode of The Daughtered Podcast, I sit down with Chip Scholz, a leadership coach, author of "Small Decisions Big Shifts" & "Every Dog Has Its Day", woodworker, and father of three daughters, for a powerful conversation on fatherhood, leadership, and the quiet weight of being a dad.
Chip shares his unique journey into fatherhood, stepping in as a dad to three young girls after their biological father disappeared, and what it taught him about earning influence, not just holding authority.
We dive into:
• The difference between authority and real leadership
• Raising daughters through every stage of life
• Why dads struggle with imposter syndrome
• “Not forcing the cut” in fatherhood and leadership
• Small daily decisions that create big life shifts
• Building family values, purpose, and intentional legacy
• The tension between career success and being present at home
This conversation is full of hard-earned wisdom for fathers trying to lead better, love deeper, and show up stronger for their families.
