In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Hector Santiesteban, a father, husband, podcast strategist and growth consultant, and host of The Modern Masculinity Podcast. Listen in as Hector and I discuss some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities we have as men, fathers, and change-makers.
Hector gives insight into how you can undo generational trauma by intentionally crafting your child’s view of the world. He speaks on how to not lose yourself in parenting and how to be in service of others while chasing fulfillment instead of accolades.
“We have the opportunity to create direction or structure or to provide those lessons… if we so choose to take the opportunity to be present in the moment.” – Hector Santiesteban
Hector leaves you with this bit of wisdom: Chase your own while cultivating that of others.
