Mike also breaks down the money moves he’s making now, including cutting expenses and stacking cash value, while building business systems so he can step back and show up for his wife and daughter.Rod adds perspective from raising two daughters, including staying connected, learning your kid’s world, and parenting with intention instead of reaction.Subscribe, share with a dad, and leave a quick review.
