Jon: “What question every father should ask himself?”

Larry: “How can I be 100% engaged right now, in this moment?”

Larry also stresses being a good role model and giving kids meaningful experiences. Jon explores what drives Larry to bring such an important dialogue to dads around the world.  

"I believe I’m a father first, and everything else second." - Jon

The strategies Larry focuses on today are:

• Ask better questions. Instead of asking what is wrong… ask how what can be done for a positive outcome?

• What questions dads should ask their kids. Layer questions based on the answers given to create a connection.

• How to make a daily, monthly, and lasting connection with your spouse or partner.

• How to make a daily, weekly, and yearly connection with your kids.

"There is something to be said about momentum." - Larry
