Presence – His dad was around daily. Not just “quality time,” but consistent time.2. Shared Experiences – From fixing engines to road trips, they did life together—even when Christian wasn’t interested.3. Exposure to Reality – His dad included him in real-world conversations—war, injustice, leadership—sparking early wisdom.4. Affection – His father was emotionally available, loving, and kind—despite serious personal failures.These four built a deep bond that outlasted distance, divorce, and pain.Christian intentionally replicated those same four pillars with his own daughters—through presence, service, travel, and affection.He ties this to why he teaches personal branding: to help people design lives around their values, not just their income.Call to action: Take the free scorecard at exponential.life to see how ready you are to build a personal brand that supports your family-first values.
