from The Dillon England Show · host Dillon England
Nick Freitas spent 10 years in the Virginia State Legislature representing James Madison's district. He was a Green Beret. He's built a following of millions.And he's personally been a long time dream guest of mine.In our conversation, Nick talks about what his wife once told him... she didn't need him to be weak; she needed him to be tender. What follows is one of the most honest discussions about masculinity, marriage, and fatherhood I've heard.He lays out:→ Why your relationship with your teenage daughter begins to be built when she's two.→ How specifically you father and teach your sons differently than your daughters.→ Why flirting with your spouse in front of your kids actually matters. → And why chasing that political legacy might cost you the family pictures that hang in your home.We get into why there's so much in-fighting within the right and the moment Charlie Kirk's death changed how he saw the country.I'm so thankful for Nick joining me this episode and allowing me to record in his studio.Connect with Nickhttps://www.youtube.com/@UCPFzA28Hw9tYDxXAeidDk6w https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-freitas-51666a26/Connect with Dillonhttps://www.instagram.com/thedillonenglandshow/https://twitter.com/imdillonenglandhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dillonmengland/https://www.facebook.com/dillon.england.5Sponsor — Broadcast Brew (Low-Acid Coffee)Order our LOW ACID COFFEE “THE BROADCAST BREW”Thank you to Cool Beans Coffee Brewery for your partnership.https://www.coolbeanscoffeemi.com/product-page/broadcast-brew-low-acid-blendABOUT THE DILLON ENGLAND SHOWAuthentic conversations with interesting people across personal growth, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle — direct, faith-forward, Detroit grit.Subscribe for full conversations and weekly clips.Share this with someone on your leadership team.Comment your biggest takeaway.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dillon-england-show--6370921/support.*Connect with Dillon*https://www.instagram.com/thedillonenglandshow/https://twitter.com/imdillonenglandhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dillonmengland/https://www.facebook.com/dillon.england.5*Sponsor — Broadcast Brew (Low-Acid Coffee)*Order our LOW ACID COFFEE “THE BROADCAST BREW”Thank you to Cool Beans Coffee Brewery for your partnership.https://www.coolbeanscoffeemi.com/product-page/broadcast-brew-low-acid-blend*ABOUT THE DILLON ENGLAND SHOW*Authentic conversations with interesting people across personal growth, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle — direct, faith-forward, Detroit grit.Subscribe for full conversations and weekly clips.Share this with someone on your leadership team.Comment your biggest takeaway.
