    HOHW: The Dad Episode! Check out my interview with my dad, Tony Parks, Sr.
    2025/08/18

    On this special episode of Health or High Water, I sit down with my greatest role model—my dad. He's a man of few words, but when he speaks, he means it. More importantly, he's lived a life that shows what strength, discipline, and love really look like.

    We talk about the lessons he's passed on, the example he's set, and why he will always be my hero. This conversation is a reminder that sometimes the most powerful wisdom doesn't come from long speeches, but from quiet consistency, faith, and action.

    If you've ever looked up to your dad—or wished you had a mentor like this—this one's for you.
