Today on the podcast, we talk with Larry Hagner about how to be a great dad. Larry is the founder of The Good Dad Project and the host of phenomenally successful and informative Dad Edge Podcast. He’s also the author of the book, The Dad’s Edge: 9 Simple Ways to Have: Unlimited Patience, Improved Relationships, and Positive Lasting Memories.
