As a father, connecting with your kids can sometimes feel like a puzzle where the pieces don't quite fit—especially when the traditional playbook of catch and board games falls short. That's where Tyler Walker steps in as our guide on the latest Balanced Business Dad Podcast. With his background in recreation therapy and a household bustling with five kids, Tyler delves into the nuances of play and its critical role in knitting the family fabric even tighter. He draws from his own experience of growing up with 20 siblings and transitioning from healthcare to entrepreneurship to provide unique insights into fostering deeper relationships through play.

Let's be honest, as business dads, we've all felt that tinge of guilt when we see our children playing solo while we're buried in tasks. But here's the twist—Tyler shines a light on the gift of independent play and its importance in our children's development. This episode is chock-full of wisdom on how we can lead by example, making lifestyle choices like trading screen time for a page-turner to positively influence our little ones. And as we chat, we map out the distinction between core and balance recreation activities, discovering how everyday rituals and special adventures each play a part in creating a thriving family dynamic.

Now, if personal growth and strong relationships are your jam, Tyler and I share some golden nuggets in this conversation. We talk about the transformative power of overcoming shame, embracing your virtues, and surrounding yourself with people who lift you higher. I even spill the beans on how a mentor like Dustin can be a game-changer in your journey. So buckle up and tune in for a heartfelt exploration of play, fatherhood, and the art of being a good person that will leave you inspired to tackle life's challenges with a refreshed perspective.
