I think the main thing that I try to do is simply being present. Intentionally, I've developed a life that does not require me to be in a nine-to-five position, allowing me to spend quality time with my kids. Just that presence is one of the most important ways in accessing my inner father.

Zack also introduces Flow Design, a tool aimed at boosting learning speeds and supporting entrepreneurial groups. The episode is a heartfelt exploration of vulnerability, the importance of emotional expression in boys, and the need for a new kind of masculinity.
It's an enlightening conversation for anyone interested in conscious parenting, emotional growth, and redefining what it means to be a man.
