Lessons My Father Never Taught Me, with John Volturo
I always struggled growing up, and even today. I’d look around and think, “Why does that seem easier for that person to do than for me?” Even though it is unfair to compare ourselves to others, we do it and we all do it. As I started thinking about this, I realized that maybe part of it for me was that I grew up without a father and learned or didn’t learn things I needed to know to more easily “be” in life. Life felt like doing. Then, I started talking to others, and it seemed like I was not alone. This podcast is for us.
In each episode, my guests will openly share the impact, gifts and struggles they’ve been experiencing ever since childhood, and how they’ve created their own lessons as they forged forward as adults. Lessons they want to share with you. There’s no dad bashing. No mom bashing. Just pure vulnerability and valuable insights on topics that really matter and that no one really openly discusses.
It’s my first podcast, so keep in mind it will get better with time. I hope you stick it out. The stories I’m working on are fascinating and insightful, and I truly want to help people, so it’s all coming from my heart. Thank you!
