Most dads are going through the same things but almost none of them talk about it to other men. In this episode I share what happened when I started opening up to other fathers on my competitive rowing team — and why those conversations left me thinking not about business, not about content, but about how badly we all need someone who looks like us to say "I feel that too." This one is about the power of male community in fatherhood, why vulnerability with other men is still one of the hardest things to do, and why it might be the most important thing you do for your kids.

What We Cover:

• Why the conversations I have had with other dads on my rowing team have been more clarifying than almost anything else I have done this season
• The dad guilt I feel about wanting to prioritize my rowing races over my son's basketball games and why talking to another father about it changed something
• Why the majority of engagement on a fatherhood channel comes from moms and what that tells us about where dads are with vulnerability
• Why community is one of the four pillars of the 365 Dad Journal and why it is the one most men skip entirely
• What it actually feels like to be seen by another man who is going through the same thing
