What does a father give his son that he doesn't even realize he's giving?

Mike Williams has a family motto. Three words his grandfather used to yell from the baseball dugout. Three words etched on his grandfather's tombstone. Three words that became the way Mike raised his four kids and the way his oldest son Skyler now lives his life.

Run it out.

Skyler Williams lost his wife Kimber to cancer two years ago. Three months from diagnosis to gone. He is raising two kids alone. His trailer burned down last month. And when his friends at lunch asked him how he could be so calm about it, his answer was simple.

It's just a thing.

In this episode Seth Stoker sits down with Mike and Skyler Williams for the first father and son conversation in Dadical Podcast history. Mike shares how he deliberately built a family culture through man trips into the desert, commission only bets on himself, and a Mickey Mouse tuxedo at a Valentine's dance. Skyler shares what it looks like to draw on everything his dad gave him while navigating the hardest season of his life.

This episode is about the lessons a father passes down without knowing if they will ever be needed. And what happens when they are.

If you have a father in your life who gave you something you didn't fully appreciate until it was tested, this one is for you.
