What happens when you’re called to lead…
but never had a blueprint?

In this episode of Dear Legacy, I sit with a truth I’ve lived most of my life I grew up without a father. And whether we admit it or not, absence leaves fingerprints. It shapes how we love, how we lead, how we show up as men, partners, and parents.

This isn’t a guidebook episode.
It’s a real one.

I talk about learning fatherhood in real time balancing strength with vulnerability, ego with emotional safety, and leadership with presence. I open up about raising my son in a world very different from the one I came up in, navigating co-parenting, two households, and the responsibility of breaking generational patterns instead of repeating them.

Because legacy isn’t just about what you provide financially.
It’s about how you love.
How you communicate.
How you stay present especially when it’s uncomfortable.

If you’re building a family without a model…
If you’re unlearning things you never chose…
If you’re trying to lead with intention instead of instinct

This conversation is for you.

This is Dear Legacy...No blueprint. Just heart.
Defining It. Building It. Living It.

Why You Should Watch / Listen

This episode isn’t about perfection it’s about presence.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of leading without being taught…
If you’re trying to raise a child while healing yourself…
If you’re questioning what legacy really means beyond money and titles…

This episode will meet you where you are and challenge you to lead differently on purpose.

Not louder.
Not tougher.
Just more honest.
