<p class="p1">In this episode of the <em>Dad Edge Podcast</em>, I sit down with <span class="s1"><strong>Adam Schafer</strong></span>, co-host of the popular Mind Pump Podcast, for a vulnerable, authentic, and deeply reflective conversation on fatherhood, healing generational trauma, and building connection through presence—not performance. Adam opens up about his own childhood trauma, how it shaped his identity, and the intentional work he's done to break the cycle and show up differently for his son.</p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p1">We dive into the power of emotional safety, why performance-based love doesn't work, and the simple but powerful practice of being fully present. Whether you're a father looking to lead with more empathy or a man learning to love from a healed place, this conversation will resonate deeply.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <hr /> <p class="p2"> </p> <h3><strong>EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS</strong></h3> <p> </p> <p class="p3">[0:00] – Introduction</p> <p class="p1">[2:0...
