Summary
What did you learn from watching your Dad navigate fatherhood? How are you navigating masculinity as a young man in today's culture? Do you remember when your Dad's behavior shifted? How did you advocate for yourself as a child and learn delayed gratification? What can kids do to understand their parents better? These are the questions Casey answered when we were guests on Joe Sanoc's excellent podcast, "The Practice of the Practice." https://practiceofthepractice.com/listen-to-the-podcast/ This is a great episode to share with Dads.
