EP 002 – PATIENCE
I’m Just Here to Be Dad

The show about everything—or nothing at all.

The Host:Anthony Yawn

What is patience, if not pressure-tested?

In this soul-searching episode, we peel back the layers of what it means to be a father when the ideal meets the real—the mess, the noise, the broken rules, and the broken dishes. Patience isn’t just a virtue; it’s the quiet strength that shows up when your plans unravel and your volume rises before your wisdom can.

The Host:Anthony Yawn and dad-in-the-trenches reflects on the sacred tension between discipline and grace, offering raw reflections, honest confessions, and heartfelt lessons learned through scraped knees, hard talks, and late-night apologies. He unpacks the difference between reacting and growing, and reminds us that patience isn’t passive—it’s active trust. It’s teaching instead of just correcting. It’s showing up, again and again, even when you don’t see results—yet.

This isn’t a manual. It’s a mirror.

Because patience isn’t just what we give our kids—it’s what grows in us, for them.

And every moment we choose presence over perfection,

We’re building something that will outlast us.

Tune in and breathe deep.

This one’s for the dads who are still learning, still trying, and still showing up.

Especially when tested.
