Beta testing the rough draft of my book "Fatherhood As Leadership" This is for all of the dads that feel "stuck." These are some best practices I have picked up as an old dad, just wanted to get us all thinking about the incredible privilege and responsibility we have as Fathers. My plan is to do a chapter a week. Peace and Love.

I sat down and talked with Sun Prairie WI GoodFather Dugan Sherbondy. Dugan's daughter Eva suffered a traumatic brain injury after what Dugan describes as a "fluke" accident. He was brave enough to share some of that experience in hopes that it helps other fathers going through a similar journey. Thank you to Dugan for his vulnerability and willingness to share.
