The Father Factor Podcast

The last three episodes have been fire. The conversations you are having are the conversations being had by all of the real men and fathers. Much appreciated!

Having been blessed to have both my natural father and several other men step into my life and serve to nurture me (through good time and bad), my calling has been to extend these blessings, most directly through my efforts to mentor others through a variety of forums - most business related. That focus often limited my guidance to their academic and or career history. Even though I get yo know these individuals, I only get to go as deep as they will let me into their background, and the elements that make them who they are. The Father Factor has provided me with a valuable perspective that I honestly had never considered, and or was a blind spot. These podcast are very well done. Thank you!

Though I was brought up poor immigrants family I had both a mom and dad in the home. I found myself relating to some of the history’s in Byron’s guests …Mill family’s 50’s / 60’s ….had Dads being gone from the home 12 hours a day 6 days a week …Pop would come home half worked to death …still he found moments for his son ….I believe for those that did not have a great male example carried a much much heavier load having a Dad that has your back has no Mesure of the benefits the good it does in your life and those after us….a Dad made the difference for me along with being mentored by great men that cared ….wonderful pod casts .

As a women who had an honorable dad “surrogate” in my life starting around age of 11 and still present to this day, I didn’t allow myself to feel the void of not having my real dad around. I kept telling myself I was lucky to have someone stand in. This hit different. A message I didn’t know I needed to begin some hidden healing for the now recognized feelings of “not belonging” and “unclaimed” - I’m grateful to pull up a seat and allow some hidden cracks to mend. Thank you for writing a book AND creating a podcast to reach the hidden people who thought the “surrogate” SHOULD be enough and giving us the opportunity to recognize the signs and begin a journey to heal.
