Andrew, an aspiring dad, and Paul, a dad of two, dig deep to find out what it means to be/become the best dad possible, why it matters, and how to do so.
In this episode, Paul and Andrew welcome their very first guest — parenting educator, counselor, and author Jon Fogel (aka @wholeparent). Jon unpacks the difference between punishment and consequences, challenges traditional ideas of discipline, and offers a completely reframed vision of what it means to raise emotionally healthy, curious, and confident kids.
This episode explores why parenting shouldn’t be about control, how we often sabotage our long-term goals in the name of short-term obedience, and what it looks like to lead with intention, curiosity, and calm.
Whether you're a new dad, a seasoned parent, or just trying to break old cycles, this conversation is full of “oh dang” moments.
