Jeff Bethke: That’s Not Even My Real Name
Both of us are jealous of this week’s guest on Dadville. It’s not because he’s a New York Times Bestselling Author or the fact that he’s full of sage advice. You see, Jeff lives in Hawaii. We’re hoping the next time we have Jeff back we can record on location. In this episode, we dive deep into his latest book, Take Your Family Back, talk about why the nuclear family is a myth, and the need to ask grandparents more questions.
