## Resource

In this episode, we take a turn and get serious for a minute. We talk about what it’s like being dads watching our kids grow up—missing who they were, being proud of who they’re becoming, and not always knowing how to hold both at the same time. There’s still laughter, chaos, and classic Dad Brotocol detours, but at the heart of this one is a real conversation about fatherhood, time moving too fast, and those quiet moments that hit harder than expected. We’re not telling our kids’ stories. We’re talking about what it feels like to be their dads. Thanks for being here. Sorry about that.
