About three years ago, I made this video with different footage. I wasn’t sure how many dads would relate. After millions of views and thousands of messages, I realized how lonely dads were. I realized I wasn’t alone in my struggles.

I looked for resources for dads that went beyond jokes, how to change a diaper, and the other five percent of what makes up being a truly present father.

I didn’t really find much.

So I started writing and gathering my past reflections.

Flash forward to today, and my book is set to release in a little over two months. I want this book to be the arm around your shoulder. The arm I didn’t have.

I see you, fellow tired dad.

Keep showing up.

There's your bros in highschool and college then we get tired and there is a disconnect! Love what you're doing and can't wait to read it!

The loneliness in fatherhood is real — and rarely talked about. Thank you for turning your struggle into something that reaches other men. That “arm around the shoulder” is needed more than we realize.

Looking forward to this coming out. Been following you for a few years on my personal account and I was tired married. Now in a divorce as a single dad I’m whatever is beyond tired but still trying to do the best I can everyday for them.
