In this solo episode, Zito shares his "shine without overtime" advice so you can keep things cranking at work and still see your family. Here he also tells a story of risking getting fired to be with his son during a pivotal period for the boy.

Dr. Barry Plummer Returns! Dr. Plummer is a clinical psychologist and faculty member at Brown University. Zito reached to Dr. Plummer to help delve deeper into the subject of preventing our sons from being "red pilled" by the "manosphere" and the good doctor did not disappoint, sharing keen insights on how we can model a masculinity that leads to strong, healthy relationships.

Zito put together a few of his best memories of laughing with guests. It's a serious time and, yes, we all need to do what we can to keep our country, but we also need to catch our breath and laugh a little. So breathe. And laugh.

Chris Zito and Ian Barrett go WAAAAAY back. Ian is the creative director of Media Boss, a successful and sought after production house in Massachusetts. Ian and his wife, executive producer Erin Hayes (who makes a wonderful cameo in this episode) have been raising their daughters in their studio space, encouraging their creativity, and experiencing the joy of their kids' discoveries. Nothing to plug here, just a great conversation between two old friends.

Rob Kenney's YouTube channel, "Dad, How Do I," has over 5 million subscribers. Yes, he's the guy with the videos about how to tie a tie, shave, and change a tire, but his is the story of a young teen, abandoned by his father. His climb back to become the man he is today is a testament to his faith, resilience, and the power of forgiveness. Be sure to pick up his book, "Dad, How Do I?: Practical 'Dadvice' For Everyday Tasks and Successful Living."

Luke is a young, devoted, active father. He didn't become a father on purpose, but he's a purposeful father. His child was unexpected, but never unwanted. His story is one that inspires and gives hope to struggling young dads. He's a special guy.
