Hi guys! Welcome back to a new episode. As always, we're so happy to have you here :)
Today's episode is very special to me. My dad accepted my offer of being on an episode of our podcast. He really shares so many great stories, memories, and much wisdom.
Here are the things we talked about :
1. If you could bring one thing back from the 90s, what would it be?
2. Now that you've raised a bunch of kids, would you go back and tell your younger self to do anything differently?
3. When you were a young man, did you ever see yourself going down this path that you did? Married, big-ish family, getting on a skoolie, and ending up out West?
4. What's two of your favorite parts about living out here?
5. When I say favorite childhood memory, what comes to mind?
6. Hardest season you ever walked through? What did you learn from it?
7. What sort of legacy are you hoping to leave your children and grandchildren one day when you're gone?
