What Kind of Father Do You Need to Be to Raise Strong Women with Emily McCarthy

"My father was a big part of my life because he showed up." Emily McCarthy is a former case officer for the CIA, and the cofounder of GoRuck, a brand with Special Forces roots that leads backpacking events all over the world. Emily lost her father when she was just getting out of college and it was a devastating blow. However, the foundation he laid will echo for generations to come. Emily's dad gamified safety and defense so she would always be ready to protect herself and others. She also talks about how her father showed up in her life in many ways and made her into the incredible, mentally tough, resilient, empathetic woman she is today. Emily's story is proof of the ripple effect that a father leaves on a child's life, even if that time is cut short.
