Being a great dad isn’t about how much money you make or how many gifts you buy—it’s about showing up. In this episode of The Grateful Dad Podcast, we dive deep into what true presence looks like, why it matters more than you think, and how to break the cycle of emotional absence.
We’ll cover:
✔ The difference between time vs. quality time—and how just 15 minutes a day can change everything.
✔ Why your kids need YOU more than anything money can buy.
✔ A powerful story of a father who literally walked 30 miles through hurricane debris to be there for his child.
✔ My personal wake-up call after missing one of my son’s biggest milestones—and how it changed my life.
✔ A simple challenge to help you become more present starting today.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re too busy, too exhausted, or too distracted to be the dad you want to be—this episode is for you.
