Raising Strong Sons: Brandon Moore’s 100 Principles of Fatherhood
In this engaging episode of Call With Dads, Brandon Moore joins Mr. Pancakes, Eric Maynard, and Tom to dive into the art of raising resilient sons in today’s world. Brandon shares the inspiration behind his viral X post, “100 Principles of Fatherhood,” derived from a century-old book series, The Boy’s Own Book. The conversation explores managing anger as a constructive force, teaching kids financial responsibility, and countering a culture that often prioritizes convenience over family. From heartfelt dad moments—like driveway hugs and bedtime “I love you”—to practical tips for fostering “developed masculinity,” this episode is packed with wisdom for dads striving to raise strong, principled men. The group also touches on societal challenges, like navigating social media algorithms and the decline of traditional parenting, while sharing laughs about first cars and bread-making kids.
