Build a Dad

Frikki

Build A Dad is a podcast about figuring out fatherhood in real time. I’m a new dad to twin girls, and these are my thoughts, questions, stories, and lessons as I learn what it actually means to be a father. Each episode is a short, honest conversation about whatever is on my mind—from raising daughters and setting a good example to relationships, responsibility, fears, mistakes, and the kind of person I want my children to grow up watching. I’m not here because I have fatherhood figured out. I’m here because I’m building the dad I want to become. This is Build A Dad.
