Ep. 559: 3 Simple Ways to Increase Your Patience With Your Family

In this Friday Craft of Fatherhood short, Ned shares an honest look into a midweek moment of fatigue, fatherhood, and personal growth—centered around one powerful theme: patience. Living in Hawaii while navigating the demands of running a business in another time zone and family life, he unpacks the tension between exhaustion and intentional presence as a father. Prompted by his ongoing journey through The Primal Path with his son, and John Tyson’s book “Five Shifts of Manhood,” Ned explores how patience isn’t just about waiting—it’s about becoming. Through everyday interruptions (including a profoundly timed pause for his daughter), he makes the case that fatherhood is less about control and more about responsiveness, humility, and growth. So here are the 4 things:Take a pause: Slow down your reaction time.Celebrate: Look for two wins your family member has had recently.Build in Time for Yourself. Break away unwind. Go take a walk, ride your bike, whatever. Just "take five". This episode is a reminder that the “craft” of fatherhood is forged in ordinary, imperfect moments—when we choose to slow down, stay present, and lean into the work of becoming the men our families need.---------Got a son ready to enter manhood?
