Ned opens up about a recent, unexpected sabbatical that offered him deep clarity on life, priorities, and fatherhood. What started as a packed schedule of trips and commitments turned into a heartfelt revelation: even the good things can get in the way of the best things. Ned reflects on time away from his kids, a transformative marriage retreat, and why he stopped sending a weekly text he'd done for a decade. With raw honesty, he encourages fellow fathers to pause, reassess, and realign—because the most powerful legacy you leave isn’t in what you do, but how fully you show up for your family.
