Episode Summary:
There’s an unspoken storm many fathers and sons face, one of love, pride, pressure, and unmet expectations. In this powerful episode, Ian Hawkins unpacks the emotional tension that brews as sons search for identity while fathers quietly question their impact. You’ll learn what drives this disconnection, how to break the cycle of control, and the small shifts that create big transformations in the father-son bond. Whether you're a dad, a son, or both, this one hits home.
