• Learning Moments: Use accidents as learning opportunities to reinforce the importance of using the potty.

For 54 episodes, Major Dad has been answering the questions. Today, the tables turn — his son takes over the interviewer's chair to answer the question listeners ask most: who IS Major Dad?

Part 1 digs into the origin story. Major Dad is a retired Air Force fighter pilot and Disabled Combat Veteran with 22+ years of active duty service — the kind of career where 29 switch activations at 500 feet, at night, under fire, had to happen on time, every time. He's also a father of five (four boys and one girl, ages 11 to 31) with 31+ years of parenting experience, more than 50 years of martial arts training, and travels through 70+ countries observing how families around the world raise their kids.

In this episode, his son asks how a fighter pilot's discipline became a father's playbook — why Observe, Predict, Maneuver, Assess works just as well in a nursery as it does at 480 knots, and how "debrief, learn, fly again" became the family's answer to every parenting mistake. Along the way: the three questions every boy needs answered, the one question that works for little girls, and why confident parents raise confident babies.

Recorded with the co-host who knows him best. Part 2 drops next — don't miss it.
