Welcome to ”Tell Me, Dad!” In this podcast, I sit down with my father, a retired CEO in machine tooling, to share his incredible life story. He’s not just my dad—he’s a man who has faced his fair share of challenges, from losing his own father at a young age to navigating a tough divorce, all while being a loving husband and father.
In each episode, we’ll have honest conversations about his experiences, the lessons he’s learned, and the moments that shaped him into the person he is today. Join us as we explore the ups and downs of his journey, offering insights and wisdom that anyone can relate to. It’s a heartfelt look at life, family, and the stories that connect us all. Tune in and get to know the man behind the title!
In this episode I turn the question around and ask Dad what he learned from me. He shares how I often brought a different perspective into his life, along with humor that helped not take things too seriously.
He talks about how I was able to prioritize what really matters, knowing when to let go of perfectionism, and how I was always open to trying new things — especially when it came to food.
It’s a light but meaningful conversation about learning from each other, no matter the direction, and how influence within a family goes both ways.

Dad, Does Life Have a Purpose?
In this episode I ask Dad whether he believes life has a purpose. He reflects on how his sense of purpose has changed throughout his life. What felt important in his twenties was very different from what matters to him today.
Rather than believing in one single purpose for life, he explains that purpose can depend on the area of life you look at, whether it is family, work, or personal growth. Still, one idea has remained constant for him: to be of value to the people around you.
It’s a thoughtful conversation about meaning, changing priorities, and how our understanding of purpose evolves over time.

Dad, Is Life Fair or Unfair?
In this episode I ask Dad whether he believes life is fair or unfair. He reflects on the many opportunities life has given him and explains that we also have to be fair to life by recognizing and taking those opportunities when they appear.
He shares that he has never really asked himself “Why does this happen to me?” even during very difficult moments, including when he was diagnosed with cancer. His perspective is simple: some things in life can happen to anyone.
Looking back, he says that all in all he believes life has been fair. It’s a thoughtful conversation about gratitude, resilience, and the mindset that shapes how we experience the ups and downs of life.
