Ep. 499: The Gift of Driving My Son to School

Ned Schaut shares a simple but profound realization: the morning drive to school with his 15-year-old son is a fleeting opportunity—one that won’t last forever. As Ned steps into the Uber Dad life while his wife is away, he uncovers a powerful truth about fatherhood: sometimes the most impactful connections are forged not through epic moments, but in the quiet rhythm of everyday life.

Through authentic storytelling and heartfelt reflection, Ned invites fathers to examine the season they're in, asking: What might be ending soon, and are you fully present for it? This episode is a must-listen for dads who want to maximize meaningful connection in the midst of life’s busyness and embrace their fatherhood role with intention, presence, and purpose.
