Ep. 518 Jaz Yglesias: Manners, Respect, and Thinking 7 Generations Forward
In this heartfelt episode of Fatherhood Field Notes, Ned sits down with Jaz Yglesias—a passionate music teacher, jiu-jitsu coach, and lifelong contributor to his family and community. Jaz opens up about raising a blended family, grieving the loss of his daughter, and how martial arts isn’t just self-defense—it’s soul development. From his belief in honoring seven generations to his insistence on work ethic, contribution, and love over comfort, Jaz brings the fire and wisdom today’s dads need. This conversation is a call to action for fathers: be passionate, stay youthful, lead by example, and prepare your kids not just for today—but for a legacy worth inheriting.
