In this heartfelt episode of Burning the Ships, I’m sharing the story of a life-changing father-daughter retreat that Emma and I took to Utah. From conquering cross-country travel anxiety to bonding over unexpected adventures in Las Vegas and the red rock deserts of St. George, I reflect on what it means to lead, love, and learn as a father.

This isn’t just about a trip—it’s about intentionally creating moments that bring you closer, stretch your comfort zone, and build lifelong connections.

Whether you’re a parent, a mentor, or simply someone looking to deepen your relationships, this episode is a reminder that courage, curiosity, and connection can change everything.
