Ned never expected that getting a new puppy would teach him so much about being a father. Today he reflects on the surprising lessons he learned from his furry friend, and how they relate to his fatherhood experience. He talks about the importance of adaptability, patience, and the deep emotional bonds that form through caregiving. He also shares his conversation with Jeremy McWilliams, a fellow father and friend, who enriches the narrative with his own insights. Jeremy emphasizes fatherhood as a dynamic path of presence, self-discovery, and the impactful role fathers play in shaping futures. They explored parenting beyond conventional wisdom, urging fathers to engage deeply with their transformative journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to learn more about the joys and challenges of fatherhood, and how to embrace them with resilience and grace.
