A Man's Journey Next Generation: What Makes A Great Dad And Son Team
Episode 3
Tuesday, 4 November, 2025
Send us Fan MailWhat makes a great dad and son team? We open that question with Grayson, my oldest, by tracing a 96-mile Camino de Santiago walk that became a rite of passage, a test of grit, and a masterclass in showing up for each other. From numbered bunks and foggy climbs to tears by a train track and a hard last mile, the story moves from playful details—blue hair and borrowed espresso—to the deeper truth that love looks like going one more step, together.I share why I chose the Camino when Grayson turned ten and how a planned twelve days became six intense ones. We unpack the real moments that forge trust: sitting down in the dirt when your kid breaks down, admitting you hurt too, and choosing to carry the next few meters side by side. Grayson names what matters most to him—wrestling in the living room, showing up at games, hiking, surfing, being silly—and we translate that into a simple blueprint for fatherhood: play often, listen first, and keep the agenda light so a child’s voice can lead.We also talk about grief after losing his brother and how movement helped us feel without getting stuck. Surfing big sets, failing to punch through, trying again—these small acts of courage shaped a stronger body and a steadier heart. Along the way, we recall another storm-soaked trek, rangers rerouting us off a flooded path, and the comedy of drying clothes with a hairdryer until it melted. The thread that ties it together is presence. Not perfection. Not performance. Presence.If this conversation stirs something, send a message you’ve been holding back. Tell your son what you’re proud of. Ask your dad for more of what brings you together. Then hit follow, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more fathers and sons can find their way here.
