Everyone has a dad or father story that has become a cornerstone of their existence. That story may be a painful one or a powerful one but the impact of it stretches into multiple areas of our everyday lives. Join me as I interview 13 influential men about the impact that a father story has had on their education, business, families, and self-care.

Have you ever been caught in the act? Whatever you were doing completely froze when the door opened including your heart. At 16 Michael knew that the next words he would hear were going to hurt. So when his father didn't say anything and simply walked out the door he was bewildered. What the heck just happened?

For the next three days, he waited for the disappointment and the chastisement. It still didn't happen. His mother made the suggestion that he go have a conversation with his father. Michael objected for fear of his life but when he finally did it was a conversation that changed everything for him. There was a power in his father's silence that was worse than any punishment.

"If you are man enough to do it then be man enough to step up about it."

Seeing him a young man meant giving Michael a hard truth. If you do it then all that comes with it is your responsibility. His father made it known that he would not be taking care of any children or him if the girl became pregnant. He was looking beyond the moment to teach Micahel a lesson in the levels of love. Father's love in such a way that they see who you can be 10 years from now and try to help you have the greatest experience to get there. They fight against you having similar flaws and weaknesses as them.

Definitely not an easy task but a necessary one. That level of love is not one that is often discussed by anyone but Michael digs in on how this one lesson impacts his relationship with his son. Even when it comes to sports and video games. The love a man shows his children is a cornerstone of their relationships, mental health, spiritual growth, and physical wellbeing.
