Forging Fatherhood

If you are not actively monitoring and checking your child's phone, you should be!

I know I am not alone in this. With an estimated 39,000 male suicides a year in the U.S., it'...

You can live with your family and still be an absentee father. As men, we tend to define ourselves by our careers, by whatever it is we do for a living. But many times our focus and dedication to our jobs takes us aways from our families. 

On today's show I talk about how me being focused on providing a good life for my family may have caused them to suffer from me not being present for them. We'll talk about how "Lego M...
