Most men never receive training for fatherhood - but that doesn't make the role any less important. In this week's Friday Field Notes, Ryan shares 7 strategies to become a better father and explains why your presence, discipline, standards, and personal growth matter more than you think. Your kids are watching how you lead, how you respond to adversity, and how you show up every day. Whether your children are young, grown, or somewhere in between, these principles will help you become the father they remember and respect. This isn't about perfection. It's about intentional fatherhood.
