Episode Highlights
[01:50]
"My wife is pretty special. She submitted an essay for me, and somehow I got selected as a 2024 Dad of the Year. She probably made me look way better than I really am."
[03:41]
"When you live in a third-world country for a while, you realize just how blessed you are. It gives you a sense of wanting to spread that and give back."
[11:56]
"I tell kids if you're only filling buckets when you're doing big grandiose things you're never going to be good at this. It's about the day-to-day small things that make an impact."
[13:02]
"I think one of the best ways to teach responsibility is to put your kids in sports or activities outside the home. They learn firsthand that hard work and commitment lead to results.”
[14:19]
"I thought I was helping my sons by making everything a competition, but looking back, I probably created more sibling rivalry than teamwork."
