Tommy Serak comes in a little nervous and leaves proving how simple this can be. He shares how becoming a dad started with his stepson Daniel, a connection built over something as small as getting him to eat real food, and grew into a deep bond that shaped the kind of father he’d become.

From there, Tommy walks through the shift from thinking he’d be a strict dad like his own father to realizing he’s actually a laid-back, loving one. He talks about the moment it all clicks, holding your kid and knowing you’ve got it, along with the chaos, humor, and everyday moments that come with raising three boys.

It’s an easy, honest conversation about showing up, figuring it out as you go, and leaning into the kind of dad you actually are.
