Our guest, Bob Schubert, is the father of accomplished sculptor, Spencer Schubert. Spencer has dedicated his life to perfecting the art of capturing the likeness of people in his sculptures. At the start of each project, Spencer researches the subject's story and their personality, and then impresses that into the clay which ultimately serves as the basis for the bronze mold.

The list of Spencer's works is long, but to name just a few, they include:

• Bill Snyder: the Hall of Fame, Kansas State head coach, known for the "greatest turnaround in college football history"
• Marcus Aurelius & Seneca: the famous stoics.
• Buck O'Neil: Baseball legend and Negro Leagues Ambassador
• William Webb: the first American Naval architect.

The William Webb sculpture is prominently displayed at the Webb Institute College of Engineering in Glenn Cove, New York.

You can find photos of some of Spencer's sculptures and busts on the episode page at FatheringExcellence.com, which also includes a full transcript of the episode.

Spencer and his siblings Kim, Bethany, & Fletch are fortunate to have Bob as their father. He's a terrific guy and he shares some great stories and parenting insights in this episode of Fathering Excellence.
