Mentoring Kids in Virtue

In this episode, Dr. Greg Popcak dives into the first Habit of Headship: prioritize family time. He explains why this is one of the hardest habits for men, since so many of us were raised to be "human doings" instead of learning to prioritize relationship. Dr. Greg gets practical, showing how dads can put family time on the schedule first, before sports, activities, or anything else competes for it. He shares real stories from raising his own kids and offers a clear challenge: success and a strong family life aren't opposites, but it takes intentional leadership to protect what matters most.
