Becoming the Father I Never Had

What happens when a man chooses to rewrite his story?

In this episode of Brave Men Dare,  guest co-host, Joe Young, joins Craig for a deeply honest conversation about growing up with an absent father, breaking generational cycles, and learning what it really means to show up as a man, husband, and dad.

Joe shares personal stories about:

• His father’s time as a POW in WWII

• Growing up in a chaotic, loving household as the youngest of seven

• Becoming a father later in life—and the fear that came with it

• What he's learned in 26 years of marriage

• Letting go of being the “passive dad” and becoming more present

• His own inner programming and how he's still unpacking it at 60

• And, of course, Green Bay vs Detroit and the Power Rangers Rash Guard 😂

Whether you're a dad, son, or just a man navigating life—this episode will make you think, reflect, and maybe even soften a bit.
