Summary
For the first time ever on the Rise Together podcast, we're having an hour-long conversation about fatherhood -- what does it take to be a good dad in 2018? In a conversation with Larry Hagner, the host of The Dad Edge Podcast, Dave and Larry talk about raising 1,000 kids, how to keep the spark alive with your spouse while doing so, the myths around balance, the debate of giving kids what they want vs what they need and the biggest things they're hoping to impart on their small humans. If you're interested in hearing a good dude talk about fatherhood on the regular, check out Larry Hagner and his The Dad Edge Podcast here--> https://apple.co/2QeElXS A special shout out to the greatest living author (according to her husband) Rachel Hollis who's Girl, Wash Your Face incredibly passed 2 million copies sold yesterday. Thank you for your extraordinary support! It's changed our lives, and... it makes a great under-$15 holiday gift --> https://amzn.to/2UgpBpM Did you know the documentary of our live-event RISE is back in theaters on Jan 2 and Jan 9?
