Being a dad is simultaneously one of the most amazing and challenging things you can do in your life.
With work, marriage or romantic partnership, extended family, etc., on top of parenting, do you have any time for yourself to pursue your dreams and take care of your well-being?
We want to make sure you can actually enjoy your kids and your life, rather than being constantly exhausted, distracted or overwhelmed!

In this conversation we discussed:
- What has created success and happiness in Larry’s decades long year relationship with his wife
- How to cultivate patience and the ability to be calm and clear, rather than explode with your kids
- What men can do to shift from complaining and frustration to empowerment and generativity
- How to communicate in a way that allows your spouse and kids to open up and trust you with deeply personal stuff
- Common pitfalls dads stumble into on the parenting journey
