This one hits different. This week on the Diaries, I’m locking in with my day-one brother, Brandon Watkins. Having known Brandon since he was seven years old, I’ve had a front-row seat to his growth. Today, we’re stripping away the filters to talk about the raw realities of fatherhood. Brandon breaks down how he turned the lessons of what his father didn't do into a blueprint for being the greatest, most consistent dad he can be. He pays the ultimate tribute to the woman who did it all—his mother—and shares a fire-tested mindset on why you can never give up on what you believe in.
