In this heartfelt episode of Hey Dads Can We?, host Jeff Hopeck speaks with a fellow father, Michael Aletraris, and friend about the challenges and joys of intentional fatherhood. Their conversation centers on the importance of presence over perfection — being truly engaged with one’s children rather than distracted by work or devices.
The guest shares lessons from his faith and upbringing, emphasizing that fatherhood is a calling to lead by example, plant seeds of character, and create a lasting legacy rooted in love, patience, and faith. They discuss practical ways to disconnect from technology, the power of empathy in discipline, and how small acts — like playing outside or entering a child’s imaginative world — can deeply impact relationships. The episode closes with reflections on being proactive, building generational values, and savoring fleeting childhood moments before they’re gone.
