We all want to do better than our parents. It is part of parenting. Today, my guest shared his guide to being the father he wishes he had had. 

What We Talked About:
  • Why Nick felt the need to write his book

  • Why is the father's role so important

  • The Five Big Stones of Effective Fatherhood

  • Common Challenges Fathers Face

  • Building solid and loving relationships between fathers and their children.

Things to Remember:

“Parenting is maintaining relationships and raising significant, effective adults.”

“Instead of stressing over all of the things you could be trying to do, let’s focus on the truly important things.”

“Fatherhood is a superpower.”

“There’s power just in being.”

“A huge part of my parenting is having a life-long relationship with my children and helping them become effective, responsible adults.”

“Parents need to see the best in their children and help them see the best in themselves.”

“The goal of parenthood is not perfection. It’s progress.”

-Nick Adams
