Joey shares his unique perspective on fatherhood, shaped by his challenging upbringing in foster care and his intense military career. He gets into the concept of fatherhood as both a duty and a choice, emphasizing the importance of working oneself out of a job as a parent. Joey discusses the delicate balance between being a strong protector and a gentle, approachable figure for his children. He also reflects on the significance of allowing children to navigate their conflicts independently, fostering resilience and problem-solving skills.
