Jeff Hittner is an executive coach, leadership expert, and founder of Ambitious Dads. After learning he couldn't become a biological father, he redefined what fatherhood meant and now proudly parents two boys. The former founder of IBM's corporate social responsibility consulting practice has spent two decades coaching CEOs and, after interviewing over 200 modern fathers, now helps high-performing dads lead with presence, courage, and a version of success worth passing on.

In this episode, we explore:

• The 6 Dad Gaps - The most universal challenges facing modern fathers, from confidence issues to the brotherhood gap that keeps dads isolated in their struggles
• Good vs. Great Fatherhood - Why effort alone makes you a good father, but intentional growth and investment in yourself creates great fathers who lead with purpose
• Applying Leadership Skills at Home - How high-performing dads can transfer their professional coaching and feedback abilities to become better parents, including Jeff's powerful example of asking permission before giving feedback
• Redefining Success as a Father - Moving beyond traditional metrics to create a version of success worth modeling for your children, embracing imperfection, and building resilience through intentional parenting moments
