Don't Fear Mistakes

Brent, Karl, and Shawn catch up after a couple months, swapping travel stories about California, Disneyland, high prices (including $7 gas and expensive food), and how media portrayals compared to what they experienced. They debate Disneyland versus other parks, discuss crowds, pricing tactics, and favorite rides, then shift to the World Cup atmosphere and fan culture. The conversation turns personal: Karl shares career dissatisfaction around turning 50, how a friend’s funeral and meeting Laura prompted major life changes, and the group reflects on regrets, risk-taking, and appreciating fleeting family moments. They also share updates on a son’s wedding, a daughter publishing a fiction book, an upcoming move to Sandy amid high housing costs, Shawn’s recent marriage, and the idea that mistakes and risks are essential to growth and fulfillment. 00:00 Three Dad Bods - Episode 0300:41 Intro & Catching Up 01:56 California & Disneyland 14:29 World Cup & Life Updates 22:44 Regrets & Life Reflections 34:00 Friendship & Fatherhood 01:02:33 Closing Thoughts
