With a life rich in experiences, Brandon shares his story - the joys, the challenges, and the invaluable lessons - of being a dad. As we explore the landscape of parenting, you'll hear about the influence of his parents on his own parenting style, the importance of creating open and honest dialogues with our children, and the significance of embracing and demonstrating our fallibility.
Fatherhood is not a journey walked alone, and in our conversation, Brandon shares his navigation map. From setting bedtime routines with his daughter to fostering relationships in a blended family, he reveals how patience and empathy have become his compass. He also discusses his parents' pivotal role in shaping his values, notably the impact of his father's job loss on their family and the lessons he derived from it.
