The Show UP Dad

As Fathers, we sometimes underestimate the influence we wield in our homes. Our Passion is to "Ignite the Fire for Father Engagement".What would your life be like if you felt celebrated rather than merely tolerated at home? As a father, I have experienced the void created by my absence. I know what it's like to chase success in the workplace while your family falls to second place. This is a podcast for Hard working Fathers looking to level up the Fathering skills and be more than just a paycheck or provider for the home.
