Ep. 33 - "Limitless, Playful, Present" - The Dad Philosophy of Ben Willson
In this episode of WHOA DAD! GO DAD! I sit down with my friend Ben Willson, a man with an admirable level of positivity and with what seems to be a bottomless well of intentionality. Ben’s journey into fatherhood—and back again, through loss and healing—is one of those rare stories that grabs your heart and offers real wisdom in return.We unpack his three guiding words—limitless, playful, present—and explore how those values shape not just his parenting but his life philosophy. Ben reflects on what it means to live with intentionality, how humor is one of his superpowers as a dad, and how personal growth and self-awareness are part of the deal if we want to raise kids who thrive.This conversation goes deep:-Into personal healing, including a powerful moment of regression therapy with a shaman.-Into the raw grief of miscarriage and how he and his wife are navigating those losses as a couple and as parents.-Into the modern dangers of digital overexposure and how restraint and presence may be the new flex in a world of performative parenting.What I loved most was this gem from Ben:“You either are trying to be a great dad—or you’re not.”This one is real. It’s vulnerable. It’s funny and soulful and packed with life wisdom. If you’re a father seeking to be more intentional, present, and equipped to handle adversity—you’ll feel seen here.🎧 Tune in to hear us riff on:-The importance of emotional regulation as a father-How presence creates memories-Why failure and trying again is key to being limitless-Why being kind, not perfect, is the goal-The dangers of oversharing your kids online—and how privacy might be the next parental superpower👇 Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this with a dad you admire.#DadLife #ModernDad #IntentionalFatherhood #PresentFathers #FatherhoodMatters #DadWisdom #RaisingLegends #DadGoals #FathersWhoLead #GirlDad #BoyDad #ParentingPodcast #FatherhoodCommunity #LimitlessParenting #PlayfulParenting #BeingPresent #EmotionalRegulation #SelfAwareDad #HealingAsAFather #MiscarriageAwareness #GrievingTogether #DadPhilosophy #DigitalParenting #LegacyBuilding #ParentingWithIntention #Fatherhood #Leadership l #WHOADADGODAD
