Summary In this episode of the Confidad podcast, Dan Tinquist explores the themes of identity, rest, and fatherhood. He emphasizes the importance of understanding one's identity as a foundation for parenting and personal growth.

Present. No Matter the Performance | Season 2 Episode 43

Summary In this episode of the Confidad podcast, Dan Tinquist discusses the importance of a healthy fatherhood mindset, emphasizing the need for parents to embrace imperfection and focus on being present for their children.
