Father's Day is just around the corner and, in honor of that, I decided to interview our favorite dad in this house, Neil! Neil has gone from being "not a kid guy" to a 5-star dad in a world where fatherhood is oftentimes downplayed and demoralized. Today he shares with me some of the greatest lessons he's learned about fatherhood, starting with a few from his own dad and then moving into his evolution as a father, especially what he learned while he solo-parented for 6 months while I was on bed rest, and what his advice is to any dad who's just starting out or wanting to improve as a dad.
Time Stamps:
[00:41] - Neil talks about a piece of fatherhood he learned from his own dad.
[04:22] - Sometimes we don’t fully understand the depth of a parent’s love until we become one.
[09:43] - Neil appreciates that his parents allowed him to fail and learn at his own pace.
[13:46] - Did fatherhood match what Neil thought it’d be like?
[18:18] - What advice would Neil give his past self right before becoming a father?
[24:55] - Neil talks about being the family’s main caretaker for 6 months while Corrine was on bed rest.
[28:56] - Neil shares his experiences to talk about stay-at-home fathers, working from home, and spouse business partnerships.
[33:52] - Neil says he’s thankful to care for his family and be present.
[37:21] - “Being a dad’s awesome.”
