What I loved most about this conversation is the story of a young man whose foundation of life was impacted by an absent father—followed by several stepdads who caused more harm than healing. Brennan and his wife started out on a “minus scale,” and instead of repeating the patterns they inherited, they made a conscious choice to create a different life.They are doing the inner work. They’re asking the hard questions. And they’re choosing to parent with intention—building a home grounded in faith, emotional honesty, and resilience. This episode is about masculinity, fatherhood, and what it really means to lead from within.In this episode, I’m joined by Brennan Falks—a father, entrepreneur, and founder of Path to Great, a personal development company rooted in faith and practical wisdom. We talk openly about the challenges men face today, the unspoken weight of being a provider and protector, and the emotional patterns Brennan had to unlearn after growing up in a home without a healthy male role model. He explains how self-leadership, emotional intelligence, and spiritual grounding have helped him become the kind of father his kids can trust, learn from, and lean on.If you’ve ever wondered how to raise emotionally healthy children in a noisy world, this conversation is full of clarity, challenge, and encouragement.**********Feeling motivated?
