Dad Needs To Talk

Today I wanted to send some encouragement to others, especially younger people like my kids to give things their all and do the best they can while the opportunity is there. Even though part of this is speaking from a sports/athletic perspective, I hope that what I say can be applied to other things you are doing, including working a job and parenting.

2024 has just began and its already hit me and my family hard. So I went back in time and watched the now 10 year old Interstellar for the first time. Sometimes not watching a movie at release pays off years later in a time when you really need it. ______________________________ If you enjoy what I do and want to support Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/dadneedstotalk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Dadneedstotalk Follow me My website: ht...
