Most dads carry a silent guilt — feeling like they never spend enough time with their kids. 

In this episode, Andrew O’Brien, founder of Dad Tribes, opens up about a moment with his 5-year-old daughter that completely changed how he views fatherhood. What started as an apology turned into a powerful reminder: 

It’s not about how much time we spend with our kids — it’s about how present we are when we’re with them.

Andrew shares his personal struggle as a father, husband, and builder of the largest dad community in America — balancing the drive to provide with the desire to be present. Through his story, you’ll see how even a few intentional moments can become lifelong memories.
 
If you’ve ever felt torn between chasing your purpose and being there for your family, this one’s for you.
