In this candid, father-to-father episode, Eric Maynard and Mr. Pancakes take a reflective look back at the past year while diving into the realities of modern fatherhood. From the decline of neighborly front-porch communities to the challenges of homeschooling, cultural shifts in schools, and the blessings of family life, the hosts share honest insights on protecting kids, building strong homes, and growing through the daily grind of dad life.
