We talk with retired F-16 pilot Frank “Slap” Lusher about why his proudest mission is the family he builds with his wife, not the medals or the flight hours. We break down practical fatherhood habits that create a safe home, strengthen kids under pressure, and keep masculinity rooted in humility and accountability.  • choosing family-first decisions and closing chapters without regret  • setting two clear expectations for kids: grades and effort  • creating a safe space after mistakes instead of piling on pressure  • using debrief culture to learn from failure without shame  • teaching kids to reset fast and self-regulate emotions  • staying ahead of social media and technology through constant communication  • building a strong marriage through teamwork, honesty, and shared decisions  • preparing kids for bad coaches and imperfect leaders Support the showWarmly,Nico [email protected]
