Never Be the Exception | Adam McGill | Interview #27

In Interview #27 of the 1 Million Fathers Project, I sit down with Adam McGill - a retired school teacher, former Marine, and father of two grown adults. Adam brings a perspective that most fathers never get to the view from the other side. His kids are grown, and he is just now learning who they really are. In this conversation, he opens up about what he had to unlearn from his grandfather's era of fatherhood, why the energy a man carries matters more than the words he speaks, and why you never want to be the exception in your child's life. We talk about the power of community in raising sons, what it means to model gentleness for your daughter, and how to treat your adult children with the respect they deserve. Adam closes with something that hit different; you can only give what you have. And if you do not have it, you cannot give it. That means as fathers, we have to keep working on ourselves whether the kids are in the house or not. If you are a father at any stage, raising toddlers, teenagers, or grown adults — this conversation will meet you right where you are.
