Hey guys welcome to episode number 219 of the Industrial Strength Show

before we get started today I just wanted to take a minute and hopefully be one of the first to wish all the dads out there an early

happy Father's Day. I know this podcast drops on Thursday and Father's Day isn't until Sunday, June 16th this year.

But I want it to be one of the first to wish you guys a happy Father's day as most of you know I am a family man a dad first and

foremost I take that very seriously family is very important to me it is the most

Important thing. It's just how I was raised. I was raised by great parents a great dad the best dad and parents I should say and so

that has carried over to now my family and I do my best to be the best dad to my kids and be a dad first as hard as it is to balance work life and family life. I'm certainly not saying it's

easy. In fact I don't know if balance actually exists. It's tough. But I know there are a lot of incredible dads out there who are like me and you're doing your best to be the best dad the best provider you could be so I just wanted to take a second and

acknowledge you guys.

Hope you have an amazing day.

And like I said, I hope I caught you early.

I hope you're listening to this before Sunday.

So this could also act as like a little bit of a reminder as well to just be present on Father's Day, be mindful, you know, really appreciate and enjoy the day and the time that you get to spend

with your kids and your family if you are lucky enough to spend time with them because we're all busy

we're all running around we're all probably guilty of just the day to day grind and not taking a step back and being thankful

for what we have and you know just being a dad it's to me it's a very very special thing it is the

most important job that I have with what's that old expression.

Anyone could be a biological father, you know, it's certain, it certainly

ain't difficult to just kind of plant your seed out there, so to you know what I mean but it takes someone very very

special to be a dad to be a real dad and I know this audience is filled with those types so I

just wanted to be one of the first to say I should probably say happy Dad's Day then instead of happy Father's Day.

I wanted to be the first to wish this audience a happy Dad's Day.
