In this episode of the Built For More podcast, I sit down with Nate and Tommy from Dads Who Try to explore their journey into fatherhood, social media, and how they build a community for dads.
They discuss the ups and downs of being a present dad, the importance of vulnerability, and why it’s okay not to have it all figured out.
Get ready for an authentic, no-holds-barred conversation about the challenges and rewards of fatherhood.
