Most dads think they’re “close” with their kids.
But what if closeness is a lie we tell ourselves to avoid the truth?
In this episode, I flip the script — instead of asking how close you are, I challenge you to ask: how distant have I become?
This isn’t about guilt. It’s about awareness. Distance doesn’t show up all at once — it creeps in slowly through phones, routines, distractions, and assumptions.
And if you don’t measure that gap now, it could grow into something you can’t come back from.
