I sit down with Glen Henry, creator of Belief in Fatherhood and author of Father Yourself First, to talk about the real work of becoming a better man and father. We dive into the challenges modern dads face—balancing ambition, healing our own wounds, and showing up with patience and presence. Glen shares raw insights on building relational equity, repairing trust, and learning to father yourself before fathering others. This one’s a heartfelt and honest look at fatherhood that every man needs to hear.Buy Glen's book here:https://a.co/d/3EP2YoDSHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 – The biggest challenges fathers face02:40 – The crisis of absent fathers05:00 – Mentorship and the power of guides08:20 – Storytelling and fatherhood in Black culture12:00 – Entering fatherhood with fear and purpose17:20 – Accepting your child’s invitations22:00 – Learning patience and self-compassion28:40 – Healing, failure, and forgiveness31:40 – What it means to father yourself38:20 – The power of proof and mentorship43:30 – Adventure, play, and connection49:10 – Managing ambition and presence56:40 – Rebuilding trust with your kids01:00:25 – Understanding relational equity01:02:20 – Glen’s message for fathers everywhere***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?
