What’s good Fathers! Well this is it. The Season 1 Finale, and man do we have a juicy one. We are talking about vulnerability. I know…I cringed at the thought of it too.

On this Episode, Gladys and I discuss this needed, yet challenging topic around being vulnerable. I will be the first to admit this is a real challenge for me. I was not raised to be that type of man. Yet day after day, I discover what I would truly miss out on, if I refused to express who I truly am with those I love.
Being vulnerable is Tom Cruise…hold up…I mean risky business. There is no guarantee when you let your guard down. From my experience though, when you do allow yourself to be vulnerable, your children get the most precious gift you could offer them. The real you.
