You spend so much time teaching your kids, but do you ever pause and wonder what they might be teaching you?

In this episode, Craig and Ben explore the unexpected lessons that come from parenting—how kids mirror your behaviors, challenge your patience, and push you to grow in ways you never expected.

How do you balance discipline with connection? When do you step in, and when do you let them learn the hard way? And most importantly—what can you learn from them in the process?

From managing anger and emotional triggers to navigating ADHD and storytelling, this episode is packed with real talk about what it means to raise kids while still figuring out your own life.

Join Craig and Ben for an honest, reflective, and hilarious conversation about the wild journey of fatherhood.
