He also opens up about becoming a father exactly two years later, supporting Caitlin through pregnancy, their son Bennett’s scary NICU experience, giving up alcohol and nicotine, and the daily discipline of showing up for the people who need him most. This episode explores faith, grief, fatherhood, masculinity, family, health, discipline, and the quiet responsibility of becoming a man before you feel ready.
