Coming into a family can be a huge challenge if you aren't prepared and don't adopt the correct mindset.

My guest today was living for himself for a long time before flying all the way from New York to California to start a new life with the woman of his dreams. The only catch was that she had 3 sons from her previous relationship. But in place of being daunted and overwhelmed by the task ahead, Phil has embraced it with arms wide open and has seen his life enriched greatly by developing himself as a man and a father, while always doing his best to respect the boy's birth father. It is an extremely interesting and moving conversation, as we delve into several sensitive topics and talk about the struggles Phil has encountered over the past few years and how these have helped him grow into the man he is today.
