Ever wondered how to build the kind of relationship with your kids where they genuinely light up when they see you? In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Brian Kurian, a ghostwriter, business owner, and father of two boys, who shares his incredible transformation from someone who never thought he'd be a dad to creating the exact relationship he always wished he'd had.

Brian opens up about his deepest fears around fatherhood and how his wife's simple wisdom changed everything. We explore his journey of building a thriving business while being the present, engaged dad he never had growing up. This conversation gets real about:

Overcoming the Fear of Becoming Your Father

Discover how Brian confronted his biggest insecurity about fatherhood and why understanding that "my son is not me and I am not my dad" became the foundation of his parenting approach. Learn how past experiences can actually guide you toward becoming the father your children need.

Building Genuine Connection Through Presence

Understand why your children crave your time and attention more than anything else. Brian reflects on how showing up consistently - from school pickups to bedtime routines - creates the foundation for trust that will carry through their teenage years and beyond.

The Reality of Dad Guilt and Self-Doubt

Learn why questioning whether you're good enough as a father is actually a sign that you care deeply. Brian shares his honest moments of feeling like he's failing and why that self-awareness is what makes great dads keep growing.

Remember, being a great dad isn't about having all the answers - it's about being present, patient, and willing to keep learning. Are you ready to embrace the beautiful responsibility of fatherhood and create lasting bonds with your children? Listen now and discover how one dad's journey from fear to fulfillment can inspire your own path to becoming the father your kids will always be excited to see.
