Unlock what it really takes to become the hero your kid looks up to every single day. In this episode, I sit down with Tom Pfanner for a raw, grounded conversation about fatherhood, leadership at home, and what it means to truly show up for your kids.

Tom brings hard earned insight on presence, faith, ownership, rebellion, connection, and the painful but powerful moments that shaped his work with dads. We go straight into why kids pull away, how to rebuild trust, and how to lead in a way that empowers your young hero instead of boxing them in.

If you are a driven dad trying to balance ambition with presence, this episode hits home. You will walk away with clarity on what is at stake, what your kid actually needs, and how to lead from underneath rather than trying to control from above.

Highlights:

• What leadership really looks like inside the home

• How to build strong connection at any age

• Why ownership crushes perfection

• How to guide without restricting

• Why presence beats time
