On Episode 3 of Work N Progress, we sit down with Don Trip for a real conversation about life beyond the music. We talk marriage, fatherhood, and how books, mindset, and responsibility shape who we become.

Don Trip opens up about balancing family with a career, the lessons he’s learning as a husband and father, and how his past still plays a role in the man he’s becoming. This episode is about growth, accountability, and understanding that we are all a work in progress.

Here's a list of all the books mentioned in the podcast episode https://www.amazon.com/shop/worknprogpodcast?ccs_id=5d0c06a7-9b8b-40f2-a97c-b29ae51987cb
