I am no expert.  This interview takes place 4 weeks before my first child's arrival.  I figured what's the best way to get honest answers about my vision of fatherhood and how it connects with leadership - have your pregnant wife ask questions that you aren't prepared for. Courtney did not share her questions with me ahead of time - so my reactions and answers are the real deal.   This interview is for those that like to apply leadership in all areas of our life.  Even if you aren't a father (as I am not as this podcast is published), you have a father and you might be one day.  Parts of this discussion, whether you agree or disagree with my views, could help spur helpful conversation within your family. I can't wait to come back and listen to this in a couple years...wow will it be interesting!
