Most fathers are taught to put the mission first. To provide, achieve, and sacrifice time at home for the sake of the family. But what if that conditioning is costing us the very connection our children need most?
In this vulnerable solo episode, Mike shares his own awakening as a father — realizing that presence is more valuable than being the “hero.” He explores why the first three years of a child’s life are so critical, how a father’s nervous system imprints on his kids, and why shared family presence is the foundation of love, belonging, and resilience.
🌿 You’ll learn:
Why children don’t need a hero — they need your presence
The irreplaceable role of fathers in early childhood
How presence impacts your partner, your kids, and your shared nervous system
Why the “mission first” mentality creates regret later in lifeHow to shift your mission to include family without losing purpose
