Big changes. Life will never be the same again.

My days of being a dude are done. Tracy is just days away from giving birth to our first child. I’m going to be a dad now, and everything is about to change. This is a personal account of my life before becoming a father. I share things I’ll miss and what I’m looking forward to. I hope that some of my experiences will inspire you and help guide you to leading a more meaningful life.

As I prepare for this next chapter, I eagerly anticipate exploring concepts such as minimalism with kids, mastering time, and designing a balanced and meaningful life. This journey is not simply about change but about the process of becoming. It is an opportunity for men to evolve and discover their own path towards a fulfilling and purposeful life.
