Hector sits down with Will Knecht, a man who’s been in the trenches of fatherhood, marriage, and masculinity long enough to know that the work never really ends. They get into the realities of being a dad, a stepdad, and now a grandpa, all while navigating what it means to be a man in a world that’s constantly shifting the goalposts. Will opens up about imposter syndrome, the weight of expectations, and the loneliness so many guys carry in silence. This is a conversation about legacy, about breaking cycles, and about how to show up fully as the man your people need you to be—without losing yourself in the process.
