#5 - The Evolution of a Father: From Waste Man to Family Man of 3 Under 3

Dad of 3 Russ Buckner joins me to share what life is like parenting 3 kids aged 3 and under. Russ has been on a personal journey since becoming a parent, he describes himself as having self-destructive tendencies through his teens and explains how he worked on shifting his mindset as an adult. “I had this mantra where there’s no point in planning for tomorrow because tomorrow is going to get taken away from you, so just go full send, full blast now. And as a 15-year-old kid, that’s only ever going to be destructive.” Russ and his wife welcomed their second just days before the world went into complete lockdown. And with Theo born premature and in the neonatal unit, Russ was handed a letter stating that only one parent could be at the hospital, so Russ had to leave not knowing when he’d see his wife or baby again. I want to thank Russ for being so open and honest throughout the episode, I hope it can bring listeners some helpful insights, as well as some motivation and validation.
