Dad Advice: Words of Wisdom From Men Who Love Being Dads with Craig Kessler Front Row Dads

What would you learn if you asked 40 amazing guys to write you a letter sharing their best dad advice?
Well, Craig Kessler did exactly this — and now he’s sharing everything he learned in his new book, The Dad Advice Project: Words of Wisdom From Guys Who Love Being Dad (coming out on June 1).
Dad Advice: Words of Wisdom From Men Who Love Being Dads with Craig Kessler
As you’ll hear in my chat with Craig, his inspiration for the book actually stemmed from not having a great relationship with his own father.
In his search for answers, he decided to ask a handful of friends to write him a letter on “how to be a good dad.”
The responses he received inspired him to compile stories from 40+ dads from all walks of life — including professional athletes, TV personalities, businessmen, civic leaders, military veterans, and more!
On our call, Craig shares some of the best insights from the book and provides actionable strategies that you can use to win as a husband and father :)
