Michael Osborne - Leading Your Home With Curiosity And Grace

Send us Fan MailThank you, Jule Salem, for referring our next amazing guest, Michael Osborne.Fatherhood doesn’t come with a manual, and the hardest parts usually aren’t the big moments. They’re the small, everyday choices: how we react when we’re tired, how we repair after we snap, and whether we can slow down long enough to actually enjoy the people we’re working so hard for.I sit down with Michael Osborne, who is a Signal & Webby Award-winning podcast host/producer and the founder of 14th Street Studios in Austin.  He is also the host of the Famous and Gravy podcast, and he sits down with me to talk about gratitude, marriage, and raising kids with curiosity. Michael shares what he’s most grateful for as a dad right now: a flexible schedule that gives him real, unstructured time with his kids, especially outdoors. We get into what it takes to build a strong partnership with your spouse, including learning how to fight in a healthier way and checking in often so you stay aligned on parenting.Michael also takes us back to growing up in Austin, the pull of rebellion, and a turning point that reshaped his life: a gap year that included a three-month wilderness immersion in Patagonia. We connect that experience to parenting today, from building confidence and resilience to creating meaningful time without forcing our own expectations onto our kids. We also talk honestly about emotional reactions, self-judgment, fear that “loves to hide,” and why accountability and a simple apology can change the temperature in your home.If you’re looking for a fatherhood podcast focused on leadership at home, parenting values, emotional regulation, curiosity, and raising resilient kids, you’ll take something practical from this conversation.
