About this episode

🎙️ Welcome to this eye-opening episode of "I Wish You Knew" with Adam Lane Smith, attachment specialist, and Andrey Korikov, CEO and co-founder of Veritas Creative Media. This week, we’re joined by Larry Hagner, founder of "The Dad Edge," for a powerful conversation about the realities of fatherhood in the digital age, the dangers your children face online, and the truth about modern fatherhood that most men are missing.

 

Larry, Adam, and Andrey discuss why being a dad is more than just providing financially, how real connection matters more than ever, and why your presence is your child’s greatest asset. This is a must-watch for every father wanting to step up and protect their family in a world that’s more dangerous than it seems.

 

This is a raw and eye-opening conversation that challenges what it means to be a father in today’s world. It’s not an easy discussion, but it’s a critical one for fathers who want to protect, connect, and build a stronger family bond.
