No man really knows how to be a great dad from day one. It’s not a talent that is inborn, it comes with training, education, and learning from our experiences. Likewise, becoming a strong leader in your home is a continuous process of learning and growth. Yet there are essential skills every father must develop in order to be able to lead himself first so that he can lead where it truly matters, in the home. Joining us today is Drew Soleyn, an incredible dad who is dedicated to helping dads like him learn the essential parenting skills all fathers must possess. You’ll be amazed to find out how the traumatic childhood experience of being abducted at 3 years old paved the way for the foundation of Drew’s work. If you’re wondering about what it takes to be a better parent for your children or if you can be a great dad despite growing up and not having a personal experience of how it is to be raised by a great dad, then you’ll find this episode useful.
