When we were little, monsters and aliens were terrifying. Now that we are parents, real-world troubles keep us up at night much more than Godzilla. Fear can be crippling or a motivator. Ted Lowe, BJ Foster, and Buck Buchanan dive into what scares us the most as dads. (Also, they hate clowns)
Our fears as dads are a big deal because they impact how we feel about ourselves, how present we can be with our kids, how we respond to them, and even what we teach them about their fears. The 5 fears we break down in this episode are:
1. Failing
2. Being Incompetent
3. Being Weak (or Being Perceived as Weak)
4. Being Irrelevant
5. Looking Foolish
