One of the biggest reasons for the birth rate nosedive is that people no longer hear the positive arguments for having kids.

All they hear is the constant societal push for "freedom" being the ultimate virtue. It's led to a culture of hyper-individualism, where having kids makes absolutely no sense, because kids necessarily infringe on your freedom.

In this episode, Jeremy is joined by Tyler Graham to make the case for fatherhood from 3 different angles:

1. The Benefits for You

2. The Benefits For Your Family/Business/Marriage

3. Your Duty To Have Kids

Dive in, and remember that one of the major ways you can impact your own kids and community is by constantly telling and showing everyone how great fatherhood and motherhood truly is.

00:00 Intro

00:31 Making the Case for Fatherhood
