Dopamine, Depression & Hard Things: A Father-Son Conversation | # 74

About this episode

Zach and his son Max discuss the challenges of growing up and building a meaningful life amidst various life changes.

Zach sits down with his oldest son, Max, for a father-and-son conversation about growing up, rooting in, and building a life that lasts. Max is 20, graduating soon, going on tour, and getting married. This moment of “everything is happening at once” becomes the backdrop for a deeper conversation about fear, responsibility, and the kind of commitments that form a man. It’s practical, honest, and full of real-life wisdom for anyone trying to build a life with integrity in a culture of shortcuts.
