I have been a Doc for 22 years, a Dad for 16 and aspiring to be a Dude for a while now.
As a doc, I have earned some titles Osteopath, Emergency Physician, Attending and Consultant from Universities Training Programs and Specialty Colleges on two continents.
As a Dad I have been honing my craft for 16 years, many people become fathers but you have to maintain the title of Dad.
As a Dude well that's your opinion man. I have written a pregame talk for my soccer team for a few years.
This is my organizing principle. Doc to prepare... Dad to maintain... Dude for balance...
I do not have answers, I have many questions, some systems and a few experiences. I will share what I reckon will add value.
