The 3 Best Things I Did as a Dad, with Andrew Pudewa

A Father’s Day episode (bring the dads!)

Happy Father’s Day week everyone! Today my friend Andrew Pudewa, is with us to offer some lessons and encouragement for all of the dads out there!

Andrew is the founder and director of the Institute for Excellence in Writing, father of seven, and grandpa to a whole bunch of kids! Andrew travels and speaks around the world, addressing issues related to teaching, writing, thinking, spelling, and music with clarity, insight, practical experience, and humor.

And today, he shares what he considers the “3 best things” he did as a dad. I love this conversation and I think men and women alike will find inspiration and encouragement in it!

NOTE!! — My Character Training Course is OPEN *only until Monday, June 17th! (find out more about the course at: www.monicaswanson.com/character-course)
