Dads, be honest. Does fatherhood feel like a duty… or a privilege? In this week’s Friday Fuel – Answer Me This episode, we cut deep into the question I believe we need to answer as modern dads: Are you showing up out of obligation, or out of love and presence? Too often, life’s noise, work deadlines, bills, exhaustion turns fatherhood into a checklist instead of a connection. But here's what I think we wrestle with every day: Our kids need connection, they're not looking to you to be perfect, all they need is your time and your presence. In this raw and reflective conversation, I share: ✅ Why presence is greater than perfection in modern fatherhood ✅ How to shift from “managing your kids” to truly connecting with them ✅ The danger of letting duty drown out joy and gratitude ✅ Simple mindset shifts to help you lead with clarity, love, and strength Whether you’re an expectant father, a new dad on paternity leave, or a man in the grind of balancing work, family, and identity, this episode will push you to pause, reflect, and redefine what fatherhood means to you. Don’t let fatherhood pass you by. Start treating it as the gift it truly is. Join the Modern Fatherhood Club.
