James, Ryan and Brad
3 Fathers humbly exploring parenthood, marriage while raising daughters and sons. The challenges each brings, and just the overall excitement and joy that comes with being dads.
We discuss growing up what family traditions we had, and what family traditions we plan to continue, new or old.
We discuss how we think about building up our Children's self-esteem and what we feel would be the best way to go about that.
We give our take on how social media plays a role in our every day life whether we want it to, or not, and how that may affect our children, and what we can do as parents to help guide and protect them from a widely "connected" world.
We discuss what it means to us personally to have a good support system or "village" around us, and how it has helped us not only live, but thrive being parents.

We discuss how we became friends, what maintaining our friendship means, and what our take is on being a Godparent
We talk about the awkwardness of being recorded, the best way to address it and how it ultimately can change the conversation dialogue. We also discuss the differences from going to 1 child to 2, and eventually 3.
We are 3 friends, who are also are fathers, and each episode we wanted to discuss various topics about parenthood, and the different challenges, joy, and excitement comes with being in our role.
