Ep 7 - You Can't Aim From The Center: Fatherhood & Spinning Plates | The Whetstone

📖 Summary:
This episode brings the heat on what it means to lead your family with sacrificial focus. The Plague, Dredd, and Dark Helmet break down the dangers of confusing roles in the Concentrica—mentoring your kids, treating your wife like your shieldlock, or living like you're the center of your own universe. From power dynamics to parenting habits to CSAUP family vacations, this is for every man trying to be more than just present—he wants to be purposeful.

Highlights: ✅ Why your wife is not your best friend
✅ What power dynamics tell us about fatherhood and mentorship
✅ Can you mentor your kids? (Hint: no.)
✅ What the Concentric teaches you about sacrifice
✅ How vacations reveal your leadership defaults
