Hey, my name is Jon Hord. For about 18 years I worked really hard to climb the corporate ladder, because that’s where I thought my identity and my value was, especially when it came to being a father. That’s what I experienced as a kid growing up. That’s what I saw my dad do. And after doing that for a long time, in stress and anxiety, continuing to climb, and continuing to see that I wasn’t really happy with the dad and the husband that I was, it became really clear that I needed to make a change. So I started working with a coach. I ultimately left my job to get certified as a coach myself, and not too long after that I started The Engaged Father Project, where I help dads get clear on the type of dad they want to be, and help them step into that role before time runs out. And I’ve been on about 10 podcasts now, maybe a dozen, and it’s an amazing opportunity to let my passion and my energy for what I do come through, because that’s a lot different than using written words to do it.

@James Colistra thank you for that.
