Ep. 497: Say NO to Important and YES to Your KIDDOS

Ned dives deep into a powerful lesson that emerged from the everyday chaos of fatherhood: when something matters most, pause. Juggling a busy week of parenting, workouts, and time-blocking, Ned reflects on two moments where choosing presence over productivity reminded him what truly matters. He challenges listeners to be interruptible, to listen to the cues from their children, and to embrace the tension between being driven and being present. This short but impactful episode offers a relatable, actionable reminder for dads committed to showing up with intention.
