He explains why being physically present as a father is not always the same as being emotionally involved—and why men must be willing to confront their own struggles to build healthier relationships. This conversation goes beyond traditional discussions about fatherhood. It challenges men to examine their habits, take responsibility for their actions, break generational cycles, and become more intentional in how they show up for their children and partners.
