067 | D-Day’s Principles for Dads

Hey Fellow Dads,

Many of us enjoy reading war stories—and I’ll recommend some great ones in today’s episode—but have you ever considered what needs and roles we might have in common with the heroes of those stories? Specifically, what principles can the history of D-day teach us for our roles as dads? That’s what I’ll discuss in today’s episode. —Nathan
