60. Your Kids Don't Need a Perfect Dad They Need an Emotionally Honest One with Taylor Sanchez
Taylor Sanchez is not your usual touchy feely sensitive dad influencer. He is a regular American dude, raised by a "rule with an iron fist" kind of dad, and decided he wanted to do it differently. With no previous experience or resources, he started making social posts about his personal journey of figuring this out, and it resonated with thousands of parents!
In this episode, he shares how he figured out through trial and error that emotional intelligence, breaking generational cycles, and prioritizing his marriage can change everything — for his daughter, his wife, and himself.
Most dad advice stops at "provide and protect." Taylor Sanchez is breaking a 100-year family pattern and he says it all starts with how he treats his wife.
Taylor runs the Built Different channel, where he helps dads move beyond just being the breadwinner. As a first-time dad to a baby girl, he's doing the emotional work most men never learn and he started before she was even born.
Inside this episode:•
Why Taylor began developing emotional intelligence years before becoming a dad — and the one daily practice that rewired his reactions
How the tone of your entire household is set by your relationship with your spouse — and why "serving the baby means serving the mom first"
Breaking generational cycles without cutting family off — including how Taylor repaired his relationship with his own father
The identity shift nobody talks about: moving from "guy who fixes things" to "dad who feels things"
The biggest lies dads are sold about money, power, and parenting as sacrifice — and what actually brings peace
