    New Dad Thoughts

    My son will be born soon. I've had months to reflect on myself, who I want to be as a father, what I want to teach my son. Here are some pieces of advice that I have for him from my life experience so far. I hope some of the wisdom I have saved for him resonates with you if you choose to give this episode a listen. At the very least, this will be a gift for him for when he is old enough to understand. I can also look back on this in the coming years and see how my opinions have changed and/or stayed the same.
