Whether you’re a father, educator, or simply interested in the relationship between faith, work, and family, this episode offers thoughtful insights and practical wisdom for building a life rooted in purpose.

In this episode, Jason welcomes Chad Rosamond for a candid conversation about fatherhood, education, and guiding children into adulthood. Drawing from their own experiences as fathers, homeschoolers, and community builders, Jason and Chad discuss:

• The evolving role of fathers in helping children discern their paths, from college to trades and beyond.
• The value of classical education, hands-on work, and the integration of faith, family, and community.
• Personal stories of raising children, including successes, struggles, and the importance of ongoing parental involvement—even as kids become adults.
• The changing landscape of higher education, the rise of Catholic trade schools, and the practical realities of preparing children for economic independence.
• The importance of local community, generational bonds, and finding meaningful work that serves others.
• Reflections on homeschooling, academic rigor, and the balance between virtue and achievement.
• The role of family businesses, farm life, and teaching economics through real-world experience.
• Advice for parents on staying engaged, offering guidance without control, and fostering wisdom and self-knowledge in their children.
