Happy Sunday!

Welcome to Ponderer's 16th edition.

Happy Father’s Day to every Great Dad reading today.

Here are 1 idea to ponder, 2 resources to skill up, and 3 tools to try out.

Let’s do it.

PONDER THIS

The Big Idea

Lead by example.

A simple idea that’s incredibly hard to execute.

A truly great father is one who his children look up to, not because he provides for them but because he inspires them to be the best version of themselves. He is a man of honor and integrity. He stands for something and leads by example. 🫡 

There is no better way to lead.
