In this episode of the Why Dad? podcast, hosts Paul Wandrey and Andrew Stolpestad sit down with Oscar Peña, host of the Daughtered podcast, for an honest conversation about fatherhood and raising daughters. Oscar shares his personal evolution as a dad, shaped by missed presence, hard self-reflection, and the wake-up call of being home during COVID. Together, they unpack what daughters truly need from their fathers: presence over perfection, dependability over independence, and intention instead of autopilot. The conversation explores the difference between kindness and niceness, why self-care is not selfish for dads, and how family values create capable, grounded children. This episode offers practical wisdom for current and aspiring fathers who want to show up more fully, lead with humility, and build trust-based relationships with their kids, especially their daughters.
