In episode #28, we had a heartwarming and insightful conversation with Hank, a father of three and a man juggling the responsibilities of managing auxiliary companies and a non-profit focused on land conservation and historical preservation in Houston and Virginia. We dove deep into the world of fatherhood, exploring the highs and lows that come with the journey. As a father, Hank opened up about the challenges of parenting at different stages of his children's lives and the lessons learned along the way. He emphasized the value of being comfortable with discomfort, a lesson he learned from his own father, who was a risk-taker and adventurer.
So, grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and join us for a conversation that is all about the adventure of fatherhood and the legacy we leave behind.
