## Resource

The moments your kids roll their eyes at today may be the stories they tell for the rest of their lives. In this hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt return conversation, Chip Leighton shares the inspiration behind his new book Dad, Can You Not?, a celebration of family life, cringe-worthy parenting moments, and the unforgettable quirks that make dads who they are. Together, we talk about leaving the corporate world, building a second career from scratch, spending more time with family, and why some of the most meaningful memories are hidden inside the everyday moments that seem ridiculous at the time. You'll laugh out loud, nod in recognition, and maybe even feel a little nostalgic for the people who shaped your story.
